Malik Davaughn Perry, a male child from Portsmouth, Virginia, was 14 years old when he was reported missing after last being seen on May 19, 2025. The National Center for Missing & Exploited Children lists his case under identification number VA25-2078 and identifies the Portsmouth Police Department as the investigating agency. According to the official missing-child poster, Malik was last seen wearing a gray hoodie, a black shirt, black pants, and green-and-black shoes. NCMEC currently lists him as 15 years old, reflecting the passage of time since his disappearance.
The available public information establishes the beginning of the case but provides few details about what occurred immediately before Malik disappeared. There is no verified public account in the sources reviewed that explains where he was headed, who he may have been with, why he left, or whether investigators identified a particular circumstance surrounding his disappearance. The official NCMEC record does, however, confirm that Portsmouth, Virginia, is the location associated with the missing-person report and that the Portsmouth Police Department is the agency designated to receive information concerning his whereabouts. The limited nature of the publicly released circumstances means that much of Malik's movements after he was last seen remain unknown.
As the search for Malik continued, his information was made available through NCMEC's nationwide missing-child system, keeping his photograph and identifying information in circulation and asking the public to help locate him. The NCMEC listing specifically directs anyone with information to contact 911 or the Portsmouth Police Department at 757-393-8737. The listing also preserves the clothing description from the time he was last seen, which can be important when members of the public attempt to recognize a missing child. No reliable public source located in the research provided a confirmed account of Malik being found, nor did the available official record establish a subsequent explanation for his disappearance.
The case therefore remains defined by a disappearance that began in Portsmouth on May 19, 2025, when 14-year-old Malik Davaughn Perry was last seen wearing the clothing described by authorities. Publicly available information does not supply a detailed timeline of his movements after that point, and the circumstances surrounding his disappearance remain unclear. Official records continue to identify Malik as a missing child and the Portsmouth Police Department as the investigating agency, leaving the central question of where he went and what happened after he was last seen unanswered. Overall, Malik's case is the search for a young teenager whose disappearance from Portsmouth has left a significant gap in the public record, with authorities and the community still dependent on credible information that could help establish his whereabouts and bring clarity to what happened to him.
