Assad Robinson was 16 years old when online missing-child notices reported him missing from Wilson, North Carolina, with the last seen date listed as January 7, 2026. Publicly available online sources identify Assad as male, and the available description lists him as a Black child with black hair and brown eyes. A later missing-child alert page lists his current age as 17, while an earlier public notice from January 24, 2026, described him as age 16 at the time the alert was circulated.
The same online notices consistently place the disappearance in Wilson, NC, and they frame the case as one requiring public assistance rather than one with a publicly detailed timeline of events.
The public information available about Assad’s disappearance is limited, but the core details are clear: he was last seen on January 7, 2026, in Wilson, and his whereabouts became the subject of a missing-child alert. The Stop Child Abuse listing asks anyone with information, even information that may seem minor, to come forward, emphasizing that small details can be meaningful in a missing-child investigation. The listing also provides identifying details, including his name, missing date, missing location, country, sex, race or skin color, hair color, and eye color, but it does not publicly describe the circumstances of how he went missing, what he may have been wearing, who he may have been with, or what route he may have taken after he was last seen.
As the case moved into public awareness, the focus of the available notices remained on locating Assad and encouraging tips. One public repost stated that anyone with information should contact the Wilson County Police Department in North Carolina at 1-252-399-2323, while the Stop Child Abuse missing-child alert also listed the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children at 1-800-843-5678, commonly known as 1-800-THE-LOST, as a contact point for information. The public materials do not provide a confirmed resolution status, and no online source reviewed here states that Assad has been found alive or located deceased, so the available narrative remains centered on the continuing search for answers.
What makes Assad Robinson’s case especially difficult to understand from the outside is the scarcity of publicly released details. There is no detailed public account in the reviewed sources explaining the final confirmed sighting, the events leading up to his disappearance, or any confirmed investigative developments after the missing-child notices were circulated. Instead, the case is presented through brief alert-style information: a name, a face, a date, a location, identifying characteristics, and a request for the public to help. In compassionate terms, that means Assad’s story, as publicly known, is not a complete timeline but a plea for recognition and information: a 16-year-old child last seen in Wilson, North Carolina, on January 7, 2026, whose case remains publicly described through missing-child alerts asking anyone with knowledge of his whereabouts to contact authorities.Last Seen: Jan 7, 2026
