Malachi Mata was 15 when he was last seen in Mesa, Arizona, on November 12, 2025. Public information about his disappearance is unusually sparse: there are no detailed accounts of what he was doing before he was last seen, who last spoke with him, whether he had plans, or whether any belongings went missing with him.

Mesa Police Department’s Missing Persons Unit treats juvenile cases as distinct from adult missing-person reports and notes that information on a runaway can be entered into the NCIC database so other officers can be alerted. The department also advises families to check friends, favorite locations, school and work contacts, telephone and internet activity, and personal items — but those are general investigative considerations and not confirmed facts in Malachi’s case.

What is known is limited to his age, gender, place, and date last seen; the rest of the hours surrounding his disappearance remain publicly undocumented. If anyone knew Malachi, saw him in Mesa around November 12, 2025, or has information that could help, please come forward.
