Keshaun T. Degraffenreid was reported missing from Charlotte, North Carolina, after being last seen on May 7, 2025. Public missing-child alerts identified him as a male teenager, Black, with black hair and brown eyes; some listings described him as 17 years old/currently 17, while the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children poster listed him as 16 at the time he went missing. The early public information was limited, but the alerts made clear that he was a child missing from the Charlotte area and that concern centered on locating him safely.
The available online missing-child information did not provide a detailed account of the circumstances leading up to Keshaun's disappearance. It did not publicly describe what he was wearing, who last saw him, whether he left on foot or by vehicle, or what immediate steps were taken in the first hours after he was last seen. What was shared publicly was a plea for information: Keshaun had been missing since May 7, 2025, from Charlotte, and anyone with even small details was urged to come forward. One alert also stated that he might still be in the local area or might travel to Gaston County, North Carolina, which suggested that those searching for him were looking not only in Charlotte but also in nearby communities.
For a family and community, the absence of a teenager can leave painful uncertainty. In Keshaun's case, the public record reflects that the missing alert remained sparse, with only core identifying details available: his name, sex, race, hair and eye color, date missing, and the Charlotte location. That lack of detail can make a case feel even more difficult, because the public is asked to watch, remember, and report while not being given a full timeline of the day he disappeared. Still, the information that was released served an important purpose: it placed Keshaun's name and face before the public and emphasized that any observation, contact, or tip could matter.
Later online news reports from June 2026 identify a 17-year-old named Keshaun Tirrell Degraffenreid of Charlotte as having been arrested in Concord, North Carolina, after a reported shooting incident. Because those later reports identify him as alive and in law enforcement custody, Keshaun appears to have been located alive, and the missing-person case is no longer an active missing-child search based on the information now publicly available. The exact date when he was found or when the missing status was resolved is not clearly stated in the public sources reviewed, so that part of the timeline remains vague.
In overview, Keshaun Degraffenreid's case began as the disappearance of a teenage boy from Charlotte, North Carolina, last seen on May 7, 2025, with public alerts asking for help finding him and noting that he might remain nearby or travel to Gaston County. The early record offered few details beyond his identity and missing status, leaving the public picture incomplete. Later reporting indicates that Keshaun was alive by June 2026, though the public sources do not clearly explain when or how he was located. The case therefore stands as a once-active missing-child alert that appears to have ended with Keshaun being found alive, while several important details about the resolution remain publicly unclear.
