Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP147174) and 1 other source
Fourteen-year-old male Elijah Cummings was last seen on July 4, 2025, in Jacksonville, Florida. Publicly available missing-person information identifies him as Elijah Julian Cummings and places the last known location in the 32216 area of Duval County. At the time he was reported missing, Elijah was described as a 14-year-old boy, approximately 5 feet 6 inches tall and about 135 pounds, with brown hair and brown eyes. The clothing description associated with the report said he was wearing a white shirt and black sweatpants when he was last seen.

The available public information on Elijah’s disappearance is limited, but the circumstances indicate that he was entered into missing-person records after he was last known to be in Jacksonville. Because he was only 14 years old, the concern surrounding the report would have centered not only on locating him, but also on making sure he was safe and returned to appropriate care. Missing juvenile cases often leave families and communities with urgent uncertainty, especially when the public record provides only basic identifying details and a last known area rather than a fuller explanation of what happened before the report was made.

Jacksonville’s 32216 area is within Duval County and includes residential neighborhoods, schools, businesses, and heavily traveled roadways, making it the kind of area where investigators and the public may rely on sightings, surveillance, and community awareness when a juvenile is reported missing. In Elijah’s case, the public-facing information did not provide detailed circumstances about whether he left on foot, was believed to be with anyone, or had any known destination. The lack of additional public detail means the case narrative is necessarily focused on the core facts that were released: his name, age, gender, physical description, clothing, last-seen date, and Jacksonville location.

The investigating agency has reported that Elijah Cummings has been found alive, and his case is no longer considered an active missing-person case. The exact date and circumstances of his recovery have not been publicly detailed in the available information, so no specific recovery date can be stated. Overall, this case began as a missing juvenile report involving a 14-year-old boy last seen in Jacksonville, Florida, and ended with the most important outcome families and communities hope for in such cases: Elijah was located alive.
