On August 22, 2026, Isaac Ubaldo Gomez, a 16-year-old male, was last known to be in Buckeye, Arizona, in Maricopa County. According to information published by the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children and the Maricopa County Sheriff's Office, Isaac was seen inside his residence near Sun Valley Parkway and W. Van Buren Street at approximately 12:30 a.m. that morning. Investigators believe he subsequently left the residence on foot. His disappearance was reported to the Maricopa County Sheriff's Office, which is the investigating agency listed in public missing-person records. NCMEC identifies Isaac under case number 2099680 and provides the Maricopa County Sheriff's Office as the law-enforcement agency handling the case. Public listings continue to identify him as missing from Buckeye.
Isaac is described in the available case information as approximately 5 feet 10 inches to 6 feet tall and weighing between 160 and 170 pounds. He has black hair and brown eyes. Two tattoos are specifically identified as distinguishing features: a tattoo depicting the Virgin Mary on the right side of his neck and another tattoo on his right arm bearing the name "Vanessa" accompanied by sunflowers. These identifying characteristics have particular significance in a missing-person investigation because they may assist members of the public, law enforcement officers, medical personnel, or others in recognizing him if he is encountered away from his home. The public NCMEC notice also carries a caution that Isaac may be in need of medical attention and directs anyone who locates him not to approach him, but instead to contact law enforcement immediately.
The circumstances publicly described provide only a limited account of what happened after Isaac was last seen inside the residence. The available records state that he was believed to have left on foot, but they do not provide a confirmed destination, known route, transportation information, clothing description, or subsequent confirmed sighting. No recovery circumstances or additional disappearance details are publicly identified in the records reviewed. The case was entered into the National Missing and Unidentified Persons System as MP162880, and public listings identify the Maricopa County Sheriff's Office as the investigating agency. The case also carries a National Center for Missing & Exploited Children number, 2099680, and NCMEC's public poster continues to identify Isaac as a missing 16-year-old from Buckeye.
The public record places particular emphasis on the fact that Isaac may require medical attention, adding urgency to efforts to determine his whereabouts and ensure his safety. NCMEC's public notice provides the Maricopa County Sheriff's Office telephone number, 602-876-1011, for information concerning his disappearance. A separate Arizona missing-person listing likewise identifies Isaac Gomez as a 16-year-old missing from Buckeye since August 22, 2026, and directs information to the Maricopa County Sheriff's Office. The available online sources do not provide a confirmed account of where Isaac may have gone after leaving the residence, nor do they document a subsequent confirmed contact with him.
As the search continues, the known sequence remains centered on the early-morning disappearance from the Buckeye residence: Isaac was seen inside his home near Sun Valley Parkway and W. Van Buren Street at approximately 12:30 a.m. on August 22, 2026, he is believed to have departed on foot, and no confirmed subsequent location is identified in the public information reviewed. At 16 years old, with distinctive tattoos and a stated potential need for medical attention, Isaac's disappearance has prompted a continuing public appeal through NCMEC and law enforcement. The overall case is that of a teenage boy last seen at his Buckeye residence in the early morning hours of August 22, 2026, who is believed to have left on foot and whose whereabouts remain publicly unknown, with the Maricopa County Sheriff's Office continuing as the identified investigating agency.
