Hayland Johnson was 17 when he was last seen in Petersburg, Virginia, on May 7, 2024. Details about his disappearance are scarce: the record provides no description of what he was wearing or specifics about his last known movements.

Search efforts have been hindered by public confusion with a separate, more widely reported case involving another teenager named Hayland Johnson from neighboring Chesterfield County. That overlap in names has made it harder for the Petersburg family to attract attention and clear reporting. The investigation into the Petersburg disappearance remains open and ongoing, and the lack of official updates or broad media coverage has left the family and community with few concrete answers.

If anyone in Petersburg or the surrounding area saw Hayland around May 7, 2024, or has information about his whereabouts, please share what is known.
