On November 11, 2023, 14-year-old Arveon Lashawn Jones, a Black/African American male, was last seen in Memphis, Tennessee, in Shelby County. His official NamUs case record identifies him as missing from Memphis with the date of last contact listed as November 11, 2023, and the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children lists him as missing from Memphis on the same date.
Arveon was described in public records as a teenage boy with black hair and brown eyes, about 5 feet 6 inches tall and approximately 120 pounds, a young person whose disappearance placed his name into national missing-child and missing-person systems.
The public details released about Arveon’s disappearance were limited, which often makes cases like his especially difficult for families, investigators, and community members trying to understand what happened. NamUs stated only that Arveon was last seen on November 11, 2023, and the available case information placed his last known location in Memphis, Tennessee. NCMEC’s public poster added that Arveon may still have been in the local area, a detail that kept attention focused on Memphis and surrounding neighborhoods where someone might have seen him or known something that could help.
As the search continued, Arveon’s case was shared through official and public-facing missing-child channels so that his name, face, and identifying details could reach people beyond the immediate area where he was last seen. NCMEC listed him under case number 2023185 and included a call for anyone with information to contact the Memphis Police Department, while NamUs maintained his case under MP122983. The Memphis Police Department was the investigating agency connected to the case, and public listings continued to identify Arveon as a Memphis missing child after the original date of disappearance.
A later public post from Tennessee Missing and Unsolved described the Memphis missing-boy alert as resolved, but the accessible public information does not provide a clear recovery date or detailed circumstances, and the available official records reviewed do not state whether Arveon was found alive or deceased. Because of that, the most careful account is that Arveon’s case began as the disappearance of a 14-year-old boy last seen in Memphis on November 11, 2023, was documented by NamUs and NCMEC, and was investigated by the Memphis Police Department, with later public reporting indicating the alert had been resolved while leaving the exact resolution details unclear. In overview, Arveon Jones’s case is the story of a young Memphis teenager whose disappearance prompted official missing-person records, public appeals, and community concern, and whose case information remained centered on finding answers for a child last known to be in Memphis, Tennessee.Last Seen: Nov 11, 2023
