Jeuris Suazo is listed in the National Missing and Unidentified Persons System as an unclaimed person under case UCP149960. The case file records that his remains were recovered in Queens, New York, on July 31, 2025, and the NamUs entry was created on September 9, 2025.
Within New York City, the Office of Chief Medical Examiner is responsible for custody of unidentified and unclaimed decedents across the five boroughs, ensuring remains are handled with dignity while authorities work to locate next of kin. OCME’s Family Outreach Unit conducts searches to find and notify relatives so that final arrangements can be made. These efforts are part of OCME’s broader mortuary services and outreach responsibilities for the city.
NamUs serves as the national clearinghouse that agencies use to share and compare information in missing, unidentified, and unclaimed cases. New York City is an active participant in NamUs, and information about such cases is posted there so that relevant details can be compared and leads developed. The system’s role is to centralize records and support medical examiners and other professionals as they work toward resolution.
In Suazo’s case, the NamUs listing identifies him by name and situates the recovery in Queens, reflecting an unclaimed designation—meaning the decedent has been identified but next of kin have not yet been located or come forward to assume custody. Inquiries and information related to unclaimed cases in New York City are routed through OCME and the contact channels provided in the NamUs listing.
