Vincenzo Hernandez, a 13-year-old male, has been missing from Mesa, Arizona, since April 19, 2025. Public missing-child records identify Mesa as the place from which he disappeared, but they provide very little information about the specific circumstances leading up to the last confirmed sighting. Authorities have not publicly released a detailed timeline describing where in Mesa Vincenzo was last seen, what he was doing immediately beforehand, or who first reported him missing.
The National Center for Missing & Exploited Children continues to circulate his case and identifies him under NCMEC case number 2048913 and NCIC number M828411777. Other missing-child records describe Vincenzo as Hispanic, with brown hair and brown eyes. The limited amount of information released publicly makes the circumstances surrounding his disappearance especially difficult to reconstruct, leaving the focus on locating him and determining what happened after he was last known to be in Mesa.
One of the most important details released in Vincenzo's case is that investigators believe he may be in the company of an adult female and another juvenile male. Authorities have not publicly identified those two individuals in the notices currently available, nor have they explained the nature of their relationship to Vincenzo or the circumstances under which the three may have been traveling together. The National Center for Missing & Exploited Children has also warned that Vincenzo may travel to Mexico, giving the case a possible interstate or international dimension and making sightings outside the immediate Mesa area potentially significant. Public notices do not say whether investigators know that he actually entered Mexico, whether a specific destination has been identified, or whether the possibility is based on family connections, travel plans, or other investigative information. Because those details have not been made public, it would be inappropriate to assume that Vincenzo left voluntarily or to characterize the unidentified adult female or juvenile male as suspects. What is known is that authorities considered their possible presence with him important enough to include it in the national missing-child alert.
Vincenzo's disappearance has remained publicly listed well beyond the day he was last seen, with both the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children and missing-person organizations continuing to circulate information intended to generate leads. There has been no publicly reported resolution in the sources located, and no reliable public announcement was found saying that Vincenzo has been recovered. The Mesa Police Department is the investigating law-enforcement agency and asks anyone with information concerning his whereabouts to contact the department at 480-644-2211. The National Center for Missing & Exploited Children can also receive information concerning missing children through its national tip system. Even information that may appear minor—a remembered sighting, knowledge of people he may have been traveling with, or information concerning possible travel away from Arizona—could help investigators establish what occurred after April 19, 2025. In overview, Vincenzo Hernandez disappeared from Mesa with few publicly disclosed circumstances surrounding his last sighting; investigators have indicated that he may be accompanied by an adult woman and another boy and may have traveled toward Mexico, but no confirmed destination or subsequent whereabouts have been publicly established. His case therefore remains centered on one overriding question: where Vincenzo went after leaving the known circumstances of his life in Mesa and how he can be safely located.Last Seen: Apr 19, 2025
