Axel Estrada-Deleon was reported missing from Houston on July 11, 2024. He was 17 at the time and last seen near his home in the East End neighborhood, where he had lived for several years. Axel is described as Hispanic, with black hair, brown eyes, about 5 feet 8 inches tall and roughly 150 pounds.

Family grew concerned after he did not return from an evening outing with friends and notified the Houston Police Department. Detectives have interviewed family, friends and neighbors; searches included canvassing the area, distributing flyers and using social media, but investigators say no significant leads have emerged. As of November 16, 2024, Axel remained missing and his family described the length of time out of contact as uncharacteristic.

Anyone who knew Axel, saw him in the East End area on or after July 11, 2024, or has information is asked to contact the Houston Police Department Missing Persons Unit at (832) 394-1840 or Crime Stoppers at (713) 222-TIPS (8477).
