The backstory:

Anderson had been missing since July 16, according to his family. They said he lives with schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, diabetes and high blood pressure.

His family said Anderson was discharged from NeuroBehavioral Hospital in Crown Point, Indiana, and transported by Uber to Pacific Garden Mission in Chicago.

According to his relatives, the mission was unable to accept Anderson because it could not provide the level of care he needed.

His family said Anderson was last reported seen July 24 near 87th Street and Cottage Grove Avenue and in the area of 2241 S. Halsted St. in Chicago.

Missing persons reports were filed with police in Merrillville, Crown Point and Chicago.

Anderson's family issued a statement to FOX Chicago on Thursday, saying they were "pleased to confirm that Sean Antonio Anderson has indeed been located."
