About the Missing Person

Angel Hernandez-Reyes

Angel Hernandez-Reyes was 15 years old when he disappeared from Memphis, Tennessee on February 12, 2025. Very little personal background has been publicly released about Angel, which is consistent with how law enforcement handles cases involving minors. What is known is that he was a teenager living in the Memphis area, and that his family and community want him home.

On the afternoon of February 12, Angel was last seen in the area of Summer Avenue and Tillman, walking northbound. He had been at the Wash World Laundromat at 3019 Summer Avenue. He left and did not return home. Memphis Police classified him as an endangered runaway, a designation used when there is reason to believe a minor who has left voluntarily may still face significant risk to their safety.

Police stated that foul play may be involved in his disappearance, though no further details about the basis for that concern have been released. As of early 2026, Angel has not been found. He would be 16 years old.

Background

What We Know

On the afternoon of February 12, 2025, Angel Hernandez-Reyes, 15, was seen in the area of Summer Avenue and Tillman in Memphis, Tennessee, walking northbound. He had been at the Wash World Laundromat located at 3019 Summer Avenue. After leaving the laundromat, he did not come home. Memphis Police classified him as an endangered runaway and noted publicly that foul play may be involved in his disappearance.

The "endangered runaway" classification is used when law enforcement believes a minor has left their home voluntarily but faces a meaningful risk to their safety due to their age, circumstances, or other factors. The concurrent statement about potential foul play indicates investigators had reason to believe Angel's situation may have been more serious than a typical runaway case, though no specifics about the basis for that concern have been released.

No arrests have been made. No suspects have been identified publicly. The case has received limited media coverage beyond the initial report, which is a pattern often seen with missing minors from communities that are underserved by news attention. Angel's case deserves visibility. As of early 2026, he has not been found.

Investigation

The Investigation

The Memphis Police Department is the lead investigating agency in Angel's case. Beyond the initial public alert, very little has been released about the investigative details, which is standard practice when cases involve minors. The foul play designation suggests investigators had specific information or concerns about Angel's safety that went beyond a routine runaway situation, but the basis for that concern has not been made public.

Missing children classified as endangered runaways face a higher statistical risk of exploitation, trafficking, and harm than the general population. Memphis has a significant problem with child trafficking, and the Memphis Safe Task Force, a joint law enforcement operation, was created in October 2025 specifically to address the volume of missing juvenile cases in Shelby County. Whether Angel's case is connected to any broader investigative effort is not publicly known.

Angel has now been missing for over a year. Cases that receive limited media attention in the early weeks are harder to resolve. His case deserves continued visibility. If you have any information about Angel Hernandez-Reyes, please contact the Memphis Police Department.

In His Honor

He Is Not Forgotten

Angel Hernandez-Reyes was 15 years old. He was a teenager in Memphis, Tennessee, and he has been missing for more than a year. The details of his life before he disappeared have not been made public, because he is a child and that privacy matters. What matters most right now is that he is still out there somewhere, and that someone knows something.

Missing children who are labeled runaways often disappear from the headlines faster than any other category of missing person. That label does not mean they chose to be in danger. It does not mean their families are not searching. It does not mean their case matters less. Angel Hernandez-Reyes deserves to be found. He is not forgotten.
