The National Center for Missing & Exploited Children is seeking the public’s assistance in locating missing 16-year-old Justin Tran. Authorities believe that he may travel to San Diego County.
Justin went missing from his home in Downey, California, on March 7, 2025. Justin’s father shared that he has not been in contact with anyone since he vanished and is extremely worried for his safety. He misses his son deeply and wants nothing more than for him to come home.
Justin is described as 5 feet 11 inches tall, weighs 140 pounds, and has brown eyes and black hair. Authorities believe that he may stay in the local area or travel to San Diego County, California, or Indianapolis, Indiana.
In an effort to bring more attention to Justin’s case, his poster is being featured on the Ring’s Neighbors app as a part of a partnership between NCMEC and Ring. This feature reaches millions of users, providing real-time assistance in locating missing children.
