On December 30, 2024, 16‑year‑old Luis Gabriel Perez was reported missing from West Palm Beach, Florida. He was last seen leaving his uncle’s residence on Valley Forge Road at approximately 2:30 a.m. following the uncle’s hospitalization at Good Samaritan Medical Center, where he later passed away. Luis reportedly departed with his two younger brothers—Nicholas and Gabriel —via a rideshare at that time .
At the time, Luis was described as a white/caucasian male, approximately 65 inches tall, weighing around 120 pounds, with black hair and brown eyes . The disappearance was reported by the Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office under case number 24‑129904 on the same day, and was entered into public records by early January 2025; the most recent public update to the record was made in mid‑July 2025 .
Subsequently, law enforcement confirmed that Luis and his two brothers were located safe. Their mother, Maria Trinidad Perez—who did not have legal custody—was arrested after having concealed the children during the time they were missing . The children were found together in a mobile home in Palm Beach County, where both they and their mother were located by police without resistance . Reports indicate that the boys were in good health and were taken into the custody of the Department of Children and Families .
This resolution offers closure to the otherwise unresolved case, though the specific date on which the youngest brothers were located remains unspecified in publicly available sources.Last Seen: Dec 30, 2024
