Jerimiah Leelan Davis was 16 years old when he was last seen on April 5, 2025, in Nashville, Tennessee. The missing teenager is male and was described by the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation as white, approximately 5 feet 7 inches tall and weighing about 155 pounds, with brown hair and brown eyes. The publicly available notices do not explain the circumstances surrounding the moment Jerimiah disappeared, identify the specific Nashville location where he was last seen, or describe what he was
wearing. Those unanswered details leave the beginning of his disappearance painfully unclear, with only the date, the city and his physical description available to help distinguish him from others.
As authorities and missing-child organizations circulated Jerimiah’s information, investigators disclosed one potentially important lead: he may have traveled to or been staying in the Decherd, Tennessee, area. Decherd is outside Nashville, making that possibility significant to anyone who may have encountered Jerimiah after he was last seen. Officials have not publicly explained why they believe he may be connected to Decherd, whether a confirmed sighting placed him there, or whether the information came from someone familiar with his plans or associations. No publicly released account provides a verified route of travel, a vehicle description, the names of possible companions or a detailed chronology of Jerimiah’s movements after April 5. The limited nature of the information makes even an observation that initially appeared ordinary potentially important, particularly if someone remembers seeing a teenager matching his description in Nashville, Decherd or along the communities between them.
The Metro Nashville Police Department is the investigating law-enforcement agency identified in official missing-child notices, with Detective Jose Oliveros listed on the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation poster. The case was also entered under NCIC number M408325028, allowing law-enforcement agencies to associate information and possible encounters with Jerimiah’s missing-person record. Authorities have asked anyone who has seen him or knows where he may be to contact the Metro Nashville Police Department at 615-862-8600 or the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation at 1-800-TBI-FIND. The National Center for Missing & Exploited Children has likewise directed anyone with relevant information to call 1-800-843-5678. A person does not need to be certain that an observation involved Jerimiah before reporting it; a location, approximate time, description of companions, social-media contact or remembered conversation may help investigators evaluate where he went after leaving Nashville.
Publicly available reporting remains sparse and does not reveal what caused Jerimiah to leave, whether his departure was planned, or whether investigators believe he was facing immediate danger. The Tennessee Bureau of Investigation explains that children may appear on its missing-children page under many different circumstances, including situations involving children considered at risk, those who left home on their own, parental abductions and other cases in which public attention may help locate them. That general explanation should not be treated as a determination about Jerimiah’s circumstances, because officials have not publicly assigned a specific classification or disclosed evidence supporting one. His story therefore remains centered on a small number of confirmed facts: a 16-year-old boy disappeared from Nashville on April 5, 2025; he was described as 5 feet 7 inches tall, 155 pounds, with brown hair and brown eyes; authorities developed information suggesting he might be in the Decherd area; and investigators continue to seek information capable of tracing his movements and establishing his whereabouts. At its heart, the case is the unresolved disappearance of a teenager whose path after leaving Nashville remains unknown, leaving those who care about him dependent upon public awareness, careful recollection and the hope that one credible tip will provide the missing connection investigators need.Last Seen: Apr 5, 2025
