David Ball, 16, was reported missing from Mesa after he was last seen on August 27, 2025, at about 8:00 p.m. near the intersection of Brown Road and Gilbert Road. He is described as a white male, approximately 5 feet 5 inches tall, about 150 pounds, with brown hair and brown eyes. At the time he was wearing a black sweatshirt, black jogger-style pants, and Nike shoes, and carrying a black cross-body bag.

Witnesses reportedly saw him in that developed, normally active area shortly before he vanished, but no confirmed sighting was released publicly after that time. Investigators canvassed nearby residences, businesses, and motorists and asked the public to check doorbell, exterior security, and dash-camera footage from the night of August 27. Family members described David as kind and caring and appealed for any information.

Anyone who was in the Brown and Gilbert roads area on the evening of August 27 or who has relevant video or other information is asked to contact the Mesa Police Department Missing Persons Unit, Investigator Silva, at 480-644-2211. Did anyone in that neighborhood or who traveled through it that night see David or capture footage that might help locate him?
