Cristian Daniel Cruz was reported missing from Las Vegas, Nevada, with the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children listing his missing date as November 11, 2022. The public poster identifies him as a male child connected to NCMEC case number 1466179 and NCIC number M527128757. Online missing-child notices list Cristian as Hispanic, with black hair and brown eyes, and describe him as currently 18 years old, while the case information provided for this synopsis identifies him as 17
in connection with the missing-person record. The available public information does not describe the specific circumstances of the day he disappeared, what he was last wearing, or the exact location within Las Vegas where he was last seen, leaving the public record focused mainly on the date, city, identifying details, and the agencies asking for help.
Cristian’s case is closely tied to Jonathan Guillermo Cruz, who is listed by NCMEC as an associated child in the same case. Jonathan was also reported missing from Las Vegas on November 11, 2022, and the public notices repeatedly present the two boys together rather than as unrelated disappearances. NCMEC states that Cristian’s photo has been age-progressed to 17 years old and Jonathan’s to 16 years old, indicating that investigators and child-recovery advocates have tried to keep their images current as time has passed. The same NCMEC poster says Cristian and Jonathan may travel to Arizona and may go by the last name Berzunza, which is an important detail for anyone who might have seen them outside Nevada or encountered them under a different surname.
Public alerts urge care and caution in the event Cristian and Jonathan are located. NCMEC’s poster instructs the public not to approach and to immediately contact law enforcement if they are found. The Stop Child Abuse missing-child alert repeats that caution and asks anyone with even a small piece of information to come forward, emphasizing that a detail that seems insignificant could still help investigators. The listed agencies for tips are the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department at 702-828-3111 and the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children at 1-800-843-5678, also known as 1-800-THE-LOST.
The Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department describes its Missing Persons Detail as the unit that investigates missing-person and runaway-child cases, including efforts to determine whether a crime occurred, begin searches quickly, reduce the risk of harm, and return missing children to their families. In that broader context, Cristian’s case remains a plea for recognition: a teenage boy missing from Las Vegas since November 11, 2022, associated with Jonathan Guillermo Cruz, possibly traveling to Arizona, possibly using the last name Berzunza, and still represented in public alerts through age-progressed images and law-enforcement contact information. The overview of the case is that Cristian Daniel Cruz was listed missing from Las Vegas, Nevada; his disappearance is publicly linked to Jonathan Cruz; the public record gives limited circumstances but clear identifying and contact details; and authorities and child-safety organizations continue asking anyone with information to contact law enforcement rather than approach them directly.Last Seen: Nov 11, 2022
