Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP93895) and 4 other sources
In the late summer of 2017, a 16-year-old boy named Alexander Gabriel Gamez Garcia vanished from Phoenix, Arizona. Originally from Honduras, the young man was a resident of a group home in the city. On September 11, 2017, in circumstances that remain largely private, Alexander fled from the facility and has not been seen or heard from since. At the time of his disappearance, he was described as a Hispanic male with black hair and brown eyes, standing at approximately five feet ten inches tall and weighing around 174 pounds. The Phoenix Police Department was notified and opened a missing person case, but the days that followed his disappearance did not yield any significant leads on his whereabouts.

The years since Alexander’s disappearance have been marked by a profound lack of new information. Publicly available details about his life, the reasons he was in a group home, and the specific events that led to him fleeing are scarce. Appeals for information have been periodically circulated, but have not resulted in any confirmed sightings or breakthroughs in the investigation. The digital footprint of his case is minimal, with his story being told in brief, factual announcements that reiterate the known details of his last known location and description. For those concerned about him, the absence of updates has created a long and painful period of uncertainty.

The case of Alexander Gabriel Gamez Garcia is a quiet but deeply troubling story of a teenager who slipped through the cracks. The passage of time without any new developments has left his case unsolved, a lingering question in the files of the Phoenix Police Department. The overview of his case is one of an abrupt and silent departure, with the narrative of his life pausing on that September day. The lack of detailed public information makes it difficult to paint a full picture of the young man or the circumstances of his life, leaving only the stark reality that a boy from another country, in the care of a system meant to protect him, disappeared without a trace.
