Fernando Whitemagpie was 13 years old when he was last known to be at his residence in Las Vegas, Nevada, on August 22, 2024. According to the publicly available case record, Fernando left the residence that day and did not return. His disappearance was reported to the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department on August 23, 2024, and the agency assigned case number LLV240800086584. The last known location associated with the case is in the 89119 area of Las Vegas in Clark County.
Beyond the statement that Fernando left home, authorities have not publicly disclosed where he intended to go, whether he was expected to meet anyone, or what circumstances may have influenced his departure. No vehicle, mode of transportation, destination, or confirmed sighting after he left the residence has been listed in the available information.
Fernando is described as a male of American Indian or Alaska Native, Hispanic or Latino, and White ancestry. At the time he disappeared, he stood approximately 5 feet 4 inches tall and weighed about 130 pounds. He has black hair and black eyes. The available record does not provide a description of the clothing or shoes he was wearing when he left, and no jewelry, backpack, telephone, or other personal belongings have been identified publicly as items he may have carried. Authorities have also released no information about distinctive scars, tattoos, birthmarks, medical concerns, or other identifying characteristics. Fernando would now be approximately 15 years old, meaning his appearance may have changed considerably since the photograph and physical description associated with his disappearance were recorded.
The Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department remains the investigating agency responsible for Fernando’s case. The department’s Missing Persons Detail investigates missing-person reports and cases involving runaway children, working to determine whether a crime occurred, begin appropriate searches, and locate missing children as safely and quickly as possible. Anyone with credible information concerning Fernando’s departure, subsequent movements, communications, social-media activity, acquaintances, or present whereabouts should contact the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department at 702-828-2907 and reference agency case number LLV240800086584. Even information that appears minor could help investigators reconstruct the period after he left home. Fernando’s case is ultimately the unresolved disappearance of a 13-year-old boy who walked away from his Las Vegas residence on August 22, 2024, and was not known to have returned, leaving his loved ones without the answers they need and investigators seeking the information that may finally establish where he went and what happened afterward.Last Seen: Aug 22, 2024
