Rendarius had gone missing once before, on May 6, 2022, when he was 16 and was reported last seen near the 3300 block of Perkins Road. At that time he was described as 5 feet 5 inches tall, 200 pounds, with brown eyes and black hair in a low fade. Reports noted he had left home without permission, had a diagnosed mental health condition and was not on his medication then.

Those repeated disappearances have prompted serious concern for his safety. If anyone has information about Rendarius’s whereabouts or saw him around Cordova High School on May 11, 2023, please contact the Memphis Police Department’s Missing Persons Bureau.
