Manuel Antonio Velasco Reyes, 31, was reported missing after he was last seen on August 1, 2025, leaving a residence in Royse City, a community that spans Hunt and Rockwall counties east of Dallas. His case is listed in the National Missing and Unidentified Persons System as MP149884, reflecting an official record intended to centralize key identifiers and circumstances so agencies and the public can help bring him home. Royse City sits near the eastern edge of the Dallas–Fort Worth metro area; disappearances in this region are typically coordinated between local jurisdictions and Dallas-based resources when investigative leads or family ties point into the city.
The NamUs case record outlines core descriptive details to aid recognition. He is described as a Hispanic/Latino male, approximately 6 feet tall and 180–190 pounds, with black hair and brown eyes. At the time he was last seen, he was reportedly wearing a white T-shirt and blue/black shorts.
These details—along with the precise date and location of last contact—are the identifiers most often relied upon by investigators canvassing neighborhoods, reviewing camera footage, and cross-checking tips.
The investigating authority associated with the case is the Dallas Police Department’s Missing Person Squad, which handles missing-person investigations and coordinates with regional and state resources. The unit’s public contact information includes its address at 1400 Botham Jean Blvd. in Dallas, a dedicated phone line at 214-671-4268, and a published email for information and tips. Individuals do not need to wait any specific amount of time to report information; timely tips—no matter how small—can be crucial.
Texas maintains a statewide Missing Persons Clearinghouse through the Department of Public Safety, providing an online bulletin that law enforcement can use to circulate alerts and cross-reference descriptors. Cases that meet state criteria may appear there in addition to NamUs, broadening the reach of information sharing across jurisdictions. These systems work in tandem, offering searchable profiles, space for photographs and clothing descriptions, and pathways for DNA or other forensic entries if needed.
Anyone who may have seen Manuel after August 1, 2025, or who has knowledge of his movements in Royse City around that time, is urged to share what they know with investigators. Even seemingly routine observations—vehicle sightings, doorbell footage timestamps, or information about clothing and companions—can help narrow timelines and locate additional leads. NamUs exists to bring together families, law enforcement, and forensic resources in cases like Manuel’s; in Texas, those efforts are complemented by the DPS clearinghouse and the Dallas Police Department’s dedicated missing-persons team, whose mission is to reunite loved ones safely whenever possible.Last Seen: Aug 1, 2025
