Antwan Wright was 17 years old when he was reported missing from Columbia, South Carolina, with online missing-child listings placing his last seen date as November 15, 2025. The available National Center for Missing & Exploited Children poster information identifies him as a male juvenile and connects the case to NCMEC case number 2071326, with the Columbia Police Department listed as the investigating agency.
In the public record that remains available online, the beginning of Antwan’s case is described in spare but serious terms: a teenager in Columbia was last known to have been seen in mid-November, and those responsible for helping bring him home turned to public awareness, law enforcement databases, and community attention for help.
The Columbia Police Department’s public missing-juvenile information explains the broader framework in which cases like Antwan’s are handled. CPD states that it highlights juvenile runaway and missing juvenile investigations in order to locate children reported missing by family members, guardians, or the South Carolina Department of Social Services. The department also notes that, under South Carolina law, a juvenile is considered 17 years old and younger, placing Antwan within that protected category at the time he was last seen. CPD further explains that names of juvenile runaways are entered into the National Crime Information Center database, so if a law enforcement officer anywhere in the country encounters the teen, CPD can be notified and arrangements can be made for the child’s safe return to a parent, guardian, or state-ordered caregiver.
The public information about Antwan’s disappearance is limited, and that absence of detail is itself part of the story. Online sources do not provide a fuller account of the circumstances leading up to the day he was last seen, what he may have been wearing, where in Columbia he was last observed, or whether he was believed to be with anyone. What is available shows that his case was important enough to be listed through NCMEC and associated with the Columbia Police Department, giving the public a clear path for tips and information. NCMEC’s listing directed anyone with information to the Columbia Police Department at 803-545-3500 or to NCMEC’s 24-hour call center at 1-800-843-5678.
Because Antwan was a minor, the public appeal surrounding his case carried a particular urgency. Missing juvenile cases often rely on small pieces of information from people who may not realize the significance of what they saw: a familiar face in a public place, a social media contact, a passing conversation, or a sighting that seemed ordinary at the time. The online sources do not accuse anyone of wrongdoing or provide evidence of what happened after November 15, 2025, so the compassionate and responsible way to understand the case is to focus on the confirmed facts: Antwan Wright, a 17-year-old male, was last seen in Columbia, South Carolina; NCMEC assigned the case number 2071326; and the Columbia Police Department was identified as the investigating agency.
Publicly available non-video sources reviewed do not provide a confirmed Alive or Deceased case-resolution status, and they do not give a verified recovery date. Exact resolution information is therefore unclear from the accessible sources, and the public record remains vague on what happened after Antwan was listed. In overview, Antwan Wright’s case began with the disappearance of a 17-year-old boy from Columbia on November 15, 2025, moved into the missing-child system through NCMEC and the Columbia Police Department, and remains publicly documented in only a narrow set of facts: his name, age, gender, last seen location, last seen date, NCMEC case number, and the law enforcement agency tied to the investigation.Last Seen: Nov 15, 2025
