Marquivius Preyer was a 17-year-old Black male when he was last seen in Memphis, Tennessee, on March 13, 2019. According to the public NamUs record, Marquivius walked out through the front door at approximately 5:00 p.m. that day and was not seen again. The available account does not explain why he left, where he intended to go, whether he planned to meet anyone, or whether he took personal belongings with him.
What began as a teenager stepping outside became an enduring disappearance, leaving his family and community without the answers that would explain where he went or what happened after he crossed the doorway. His last known location is identified only generally as Memphis, in Shelby County, within the 38108 ZIP code.
At the time he disappeared, Marquivius was described as standing between 5 feet 9 inches and 5 feet 11 inches tall and weighing approximately 130 pounds. He had black hair and brown eyes. Publicly available case information does not provide a photograph, a description of the clothing or accessories he was wearing, information about scars, tattoos or other distinctive physical characteristics, or details concerning any vehicle or other means of transportation. These omissions make the known timeline especially limited: investigators and the public have a date, an approximate time and a brief description of him leaving through the front door, but few publicly disclosed details with which to reconstruct his movements afterward.
The Memphis Police Department is identified as the investigating agency, with the disappearance recorded under departmental case number 1903005736ME and NamUs case number MP58198. The police report date is listed as March 13, 2019, the same day as Marquivius’s last known contact, while the NamUs record was later created in June 2019. His case remains published in the national missing-person database, which serves as a centralized repository for missing, unidentified and unclaimed-person cases throughout the United States. The publicly released material does not identify confirmed sightings, communications, investigative discoveries or circumstances explaining why Marquivius did not return.
Because Marquivius was still a minor when he vanished, the passage of time carries a particularly painful weight. He should have had the opportunity to move from adolescence into adulthood surrounded by people who knew where he was and whether he was safe. Instead, the known story stops at approximately 5:00 p.m. on March 13, 2019, when he walked out of a Memphis residence. No publicly available source located for this synopsis supplies a destination, a companion, a subsequent encounter or a verified explanation for his absence. Care should therefore be taken not to assign motives or circumstances that investigators have not reported; leaving through a door does not, by itself, reveal what a young person intended or what may have occurred afterward.
In overview, Marquivius Preyer was a 17-year-old boy who disappeared from Memphis after walking out of the front door of a residence at about 5:00 p.m. on March 13, 2019. He was approximately 5 feet 9 inches to 5 feet 11 inches tall, weighed about 130 pounds, and had black hair and brown eyes. The Memphis Police Department opened the investigation, and his information was entered into NamUs as MP58198. Beyond those central facts, the public record remains painfully sparse, preserving only the last ordinary moment before Marquivius’s whereabouts became unknown and underscoring the continuing need for reliable information that can explain what happened to him.Last Seen: Mar 13, 2019
