David Phoenix Elijah Medina was 17 when he was reported missing from Mesa, Arizona, after a last confirmed sighting on December 11, 2024. The National Center for Missing & Exploited Children lists him in its missing-child database under NCMEC case number 2038874 and NCIC number M568190183 and now shows him as 18, with no indication he has been located.

Public information names Mesa Police Department as the investigating agency and asks anyone with tips to call 480-644-2211 or submit information to NCMEC. The official notice gives only identifying details and the last-seen date; it does not specify where in Mesa he was seen, who he might have been with, what he was wearing, whether he was traveling to a destination, or any events from the hours before or after the sighting. Those gaps leave the circumstances of his disappearance unresolved.

If anyone saw David on or after December 11, 2024, knew where he planned to go, or has other information that could help, please contact Mesa Police Department.
