Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP126218)
Terrious Tyrelle Pray, a 17-year-old Black male, was last seen on June 19, 2024, in St. Petersburg, Florida, in Pinellas County. According to official missing-person information, he left a family member’s home in St. Petersburg and his location was not known afterward. The case was reported to the Pinellas County Sheriff’s Office the same day, and it was entered publicly through NamUs as Missing Person case MP126218.
Terrious was also known by the nickname “Turkey,” a personal detail that reflected how he may have been recognized by people close to him or by others in the community.
At the time he was reported missing, Terrious was described as approximately 6 feet 1 inch to 6 feet 2 inches tall and weighing between 140 and 145 pounds. He had black hair and brown eyes. The clothing description released in the case stated that he was wearing a blue plaid shirt, blue jeans, and black sneakers with an orange checkmark. Those details were important because, in the early stage of any missing juvenile investigation, clothing, height, weight, and familiar nicknames can help the public identify someone quickly and give investigators a clearer starting point when following up on possible sightings.
The circumstances released publicly were limited, but they indicated that Terrious left the family member’s home and that his destination or later whereabouts were unknown. His last known location was listed in the St. Petersburg area, with the case handled by the Pinellas County Sheriff’s Office in Largo, Florida. Because Terrious was a teenager at the time, the concern surrounding his disappearance carried the added urgency that comes with a missing juvenile case. Public records connected to the case identified Deputy Sheriff John Cronin as the listed agency contact and included the agency case number SO24-187896.
Official records indicate that Terrious Pray was later found alive, and the case is no longer listed as an active missing-person case. The exact date he was located was not included in the publicly available case information reviewed, so no specific recovery date can be stated from those records. In overview, Terrious’s case began as the disappearance of a 17-year-old boy from St. Petersburg on June 19, 2024, after he left a family member’s home and could not immediately be located. The public case record preserved identifying details, clothing information, and the investigating agency’s contact information until the matter was resolved with Terrious being found alive.Last Seen: Jun 19, 2024
