Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP14128) and 6 other sources
David Antonio Cambray, a 16-year-old from Los Angeles, California, was last seen on May 21, 2006. On that day, he left his home with two friends, reportedly headed for Tijuana, Mexico, and never returned. David, who was affiliated with the 18th Street gang at the time of his disappearance, was considered an endangered runaway by authorities.

At the time he went missing, David was 5'2", weighed about 130 pounds, and had black hair and brown eyes. He also had distinct tattoos, including the Roman numeral "XVIII" on the back of his neck and another tattoo on his right heel. Born in Mexico, he was known to use the nickname "Bullet" or "Lil Bullet" and the alias Anthoney Cameray. Due to his possible connections with gang activity, it is believed he may have left voluntarily, and there are suspicions he traveled to Mexico. However, his whereabouts remain unknown, and no further information has emerged in the years since his disappearance.
Last Seen: May 21, 2006
