Justin Paul Tran, 17, was last seen March 7, 2025, at his home in Downey, California. He is described as 5 feet 11 inches tall, 140 pounds, with black hair and brown eyes, and has not been in contact with family since he vanished.

Authorities list the Downey Police Department as the lead agency; the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children is handling the case as NCMEC Case # 2047942. Investigators say Justin may still be somewhere in the Southern California area, could have traveled to San Diego County, or possibly to Indianapolis, Indiana. His family has spoken publicly about their concern and efforts to generate leads, including sharing his poster on Ring’s Neighbors app through a partnership with NCMEC.

Anyone with information about Justin’s whereabouts is asked to contact the Downey Police Department at 1-562-861-0771 or NCMEC at 1-800-THE-LOST. Have you seen Justin or know of places he might have gone?
