Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP132269) and 1 other source
On July 11, 2024, 17-year-old Axel Estrada-Deleon was reported missing from Houston, Texas. He was last seen in the vicinity of his residence in the East End neighborhood, an area he had lived in for several years. Axel is described as a Hispanic male with black hair and brown eyes, standing approximately 5 feet 8 inches tall and weighing around 150 pounds.

Axel's family became concerned when he failed to return home after an evening outing with friends. They reported his disappearance to the Houston Police Department (HPD), which initiated an investigation into his whereabouts. Detectives conducted interviews with family members, friends, and neighbors to gather information about his recent activities and possible destinations.

Search efforts included canvassing the local area, distributing flyers with Axel's photograph and description, and utilizing social media platforms to raise public awareness. Despite these efforts, no significant leads have emerged regarding his disappearance. The HPD continues to encourage anyone with information about Axel's whereabouts to come forward.

As of November 16, 2024, Axel remains missing. His family has expressed deep concern for his well-being, noting that it is uncharacteristic for him to be out of contact for such an extended period. They have appealed to the community for assistance, hoping that someone may have seen or heard something that could help locate him.

The HPD maintains an open investigation into Axel's disappearance and urges anyone with information to contact their Missing Persons Unit at (832) 394-1840. Anonymous tips can also be submitted through Crime Stoppers at (713) 222-TIPS (8477) or online.
