Jashanpreet Singh Khattra was 16 years old when he was reported missing from Oakland, California. Public missing-person listings classify him as an endangered runaway, and note that he has not been heard from since he disappeared. The available public information does not describe what led up to his disappearance, where he was headed, or who he may have been with at the time.
He is described as an Asian male of Indian descent with black hair and brown eyes, approximately 5'9" and about 170 pounds. One public listing includes a clothing description from the day he went missing: black pants and a long-sleeved collared shirt with black and red vertical stripes. Because there are so few circumstances publicly documented, these identifying details have remained central to efforts to recognize him and prompt any potential leads.
Years after he vanished, authorities and missing-child organizations have continued to circulate his information, reflecting ongoing concern for his safety and a continued hope that someone will come forward with information. The Oakland Police Department has publicly appealed for help locating him and has directed anyone with knowledge of his whereabouts to contact the department’s Missing Persons Unit.
As of the most recent publicly accessible references located for this synopsis, there is no widely published confirmation that he has been found alive or located deceased; public-facing notices continue to describe him as missing. The California Department of Justice missing-person webpage for his name currently returns a message stating “This record was not found,” which may reflect a listing change or removal, but by itself does not provide an outcome or an explanation.
Anyone who believes they have seen Jashanpreet or has information that could help bring clarity to his family is urged to contact the Oakland Police Department Missing Persons Unit at 510-238-3641. Tips can also be provided through the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children’s 24-hour hotline at 1-800-843-5678. Even small details—an old sighting, a remembered conversation, a name, a location—can matter in a long-term missing child case and may help move the search forward with care and dignity.Last Seen: Jun 21, 2019
