Nazir Rainey was 16 years old when he was reported missing from Meriden, Connecticut, in New Haven County. Public missing-person records identify the case as NamUs MP112814 and list the date of last contact as November 23, 2023. The investigating agency is the Meriden Police Department, located at 50 West Main Street in Meriden, with the agency case number listed as 2300041965.
NamUs describes itself as a national clearinghouse and resource for missing, unidentified, and unclaimed person cases, and the Nazir Rainey entry appears in that public missing-person system.
The available case information places Nazir’s last known location in Meriden, Connecticut, zip code 06451. According to the case details, he left his residence on November 23, 2023, at approximately 2:20 p.m. The public description says he was last seen entering an Uber vehicle from the residence, described in the case data as a white Chrysler Pacifica sport wagon/SUV with Florida license plate BQ3-9YC. That detail is important because it appears to be the last known point in the timeline: a teenager leaving home, entering a vehicle, and then becoming the subject of a missing-person report.
Nazir was described as a male, White/Caucasian, with brown hair and brown eyes. His height was listed as ranging from 5 feet to 6 feet tall, and his weight was listed at about 150 pounds. He also had a nose piercing, a distinctive feature that could help someone recognize him. At the time he was last seen, the case information says he was wearing all black, including a black winter coat with brown fur on the hood, along with Nike sneakers. These details give a clearer picture of how he may have appeared that afternoon in Meriden, especially in the late-November weather.
The public case notes describe Nazir as a habitual runaway, but that label does not lessen the concern surrounding his disappearance or the importance of locating him safely. A missing teenager remains a vulnerable person, and the available public record provides only a limited window into what happened after he left the residence. The records located do not provide a confirmed recovery, a publicly described reunion, or a resolved outcome, and they do not give a full explanation of where he may have gone after entering the vehicle. In overview, Nazir Rainey’s case began on November 23, 2023, when the 16-year-old left his residence in Meriden and was last associated with a white Chrysler Pacifica; he was reported through the Meriden Police Department and listed in NamUs as missing from Meriden, Connecticut, with identifying details that include brown hair, brown eyes, a nose piercing, black clothing, a black winter coat with brown fur on the hood, Nike sneakers, and case number MP112814.Last Seen: Nov 23, 2023
