In the early days of March 2020, the life of a Bronx teenager named Ariel Lizardo took a turn that left his family and community searching for answers. On March 2nd, the 16-year-old male was last seen in his home borough of the Bronx, New York. At the time of his disappearance, he was described as being 5'7' tall and weighing approximately 100 pounds. He has brown hair and brown eyes. When he was last seen, Ariel was reportedly wearing a white hooded coat, black pants, and black sneakers. His case was reported to the New York City Police Department three days later, on March 5, 2020.

The circumstances surrounding Ariel's disappearance remain largely unknown to the public. Reports simply state that he was last seen at his location in the Bronx and has not returned home since that day. This lack of detailed information has presented a significant challenge for those trying to bring awareness to his case and for law enforcement officials investigating his whereabouts. Without specific details about the events leading up to his vanishing, or any potential sightings, the investigation has been difficult. The public has been left with very little information to go on, hindering the possibility of community members providing tips that could be crucial to the investigation.

The case of Ariel Lizardo is a sobering reminder of the many individuals who go missing, leaving behind families with unanswered questions. The New York City Police Department's Missing Persons Squad is the primary agency handling the investigation into his disappearance. Despite the passage of time, his case remains open, a silent testament to a family's hope and a community's concern. The absence of concrete leads or public updates has left a void in the narrative of what happened to the young man. This scarcity of information has been a persistent and difficult aspect of the ongoing efforts to find him.
