Summary based on the NamUs case record (NC999658867) and 7 other sources
Amari Pierre Tillman was reported missing from Moss Point, Mississippi, a small city in Jackson County along the Gulf Coast. Online missing-person records identify him as a Black male teenager, listed as 17 in the case circumstances, with brown eyes and black hair. The Mississippi Repository for Missing and Unidentified Persons records his full name as Amari Pierre Tillman and notes that he was last seen in Moss Point, with the listed missing or last-seen date of December 13, 2025. The same state repository includes a brief case circumstance statement saying he had been missing since December 12, 2025, creating a small discrepancy between the narrative note and the formal “Date Missing/Date Last Seen” field. The clearest official listing places the case in Moss Point, Jackson County, Mississippi, and ties the report to the Moss Point Police Department.

The available public information about Amari’s disappearance is limited, but the details that are listed give a picture of a young person whose absence was serious enough to be entered into law-enforcement and missing-person systems. The Mississippi repository states that the reporting agency was NCIC, that the NCIC entry was made, and that the Moss Point Police Department was the listed agency connected to the case. The repository also identifies the case status as “Missing” and the repository status as “Open,” while providing the department’s contact number as 475-1711. NCMEC’s Mississippi missing-children feed also listed Amari Tillman as missing from Moss Point, Mississippi, with the public instruction that anyone with information should contact the Moss Point Police Department.

The personal descriptors in the state repository are brief but important because they help distinguish Amari from others and give the public a way to recognize him. The listing gives his date of birth as July 1, 2008, describes him as male, Black/African American, with brown eyes and black hair, and notes that he appears to have a broken-heart tattoo on the front of his throat. It also states that there were no listed scars and no listed antemortem trauma or prior injuries. These details are not just administrative; in missing-person work, small identifying features can matter deeply, especially when a family, community, and police department are trying to locate a teenager and confirm his safety.

There is public online information after the missing date that may be relevant to Amari’s status, but it should be treated carefully because it does not appear to be an official missing-person resolution notice. A public booking record lists a person named Amari Pierre Tillman, age 18, in Harrison County, Mississippi, with a booking date of May 4, 2026, and the same full name as the missing-person listing. That record indicates that a person matching Amari’s full name and approximate age was alive after the date he was reported missing, but the Mississippi missing-person repository source still displayed the case as “Missing” and “Open” in the available record. Because the public sources do not provide a clear official resolution statement, the exact resolution date is unknown from the available online information.

In overview, Amari Pierre Tillman’s case began as the reported disappearance of a Moss Point teenager in December 2025, with official public records connecting the case to Moss Point, Jackson County, Mississippi, and the Moss Point Police Department. The publicly available missing-person information is sparse, offering only his identity, age, physical descriptors, last-seen location, and law-enforcement contact information, while leaving unanswered the circumstances of where he went, who last saw him, and what steps were taken immediately after he was reported missing. Later public records appear to show a person with the same full name and matching age alive in Mississippi in May 2026, but the online missing-person listing available from the Mississippi repository still described the case as open and missing. Taken together, the case is best understood as a briefly documented but serious missing-person report for 17-year-old Amari Pierre Tillman of Moss Point, with limited public details, a possible later indication that he was alive, and no clear official online resolution statement in the sources reviewed.
