Luiz Lopez, 17, was last seen in Salisbury, North Carolina on April 10, 2024. He is described as a Hispanic/Latino male with black hair and brown eyes, standing about 5 feet 5 inches to 5 feet 7 inches and weighing 150 to 160 pounds. The Salisbury Police Department received a report the day he disappeared and opened an investigation.

Lopez was originally from Guatemala, and one line of inquiry has been that he may have tried to return there, but law enforcement has been unable to verify any travel. There have been no confirmed sightings or contact since April 10, and the lack of confirmation about his movements after that date has left a gap in the timeline.

Anyone who saw Luiz in Salisbury around April 10 or who has information about possible travel to Guatemala is asked to contact the Salisbury Police Department.
