In the community of Queen Creek, Arizona, concern grew for 16-year-old Bryan Reyes, who was reported missing on February 21, 2026. A Hispanic male with brown hair and brown eyes, Bryan stood at 5-feet, 8-inches tall and weighed 130 pounds.

All three teenagers, including Bryan, were residents of Canyon State Academy, a residential school for at-risk teen boys in Queen Creek.
