Ellic Meredith, 16, of Mecklenburg County, Virginia, was reported missing after last being seen on February 12, 2026. Public missing-child records list his full name as Ellic Darphone Meredith and describe him as a Black male with black hair and brown eyes, about 6 feet 1 inch tall and 161 pounds.

Authorities classified the case as an endangered runaway and issued alerts through the Virginia Missing Children’s Clearinghouse and the Mecklenburg County Sheriff’s Office. The public notice said Ellic may have been traveling toward Atlanta, Georgia, but did not provide a precise last-seen location within Mecklenburg County or explain the basis for the Atlanta lead. School records show an Ellic Meredith on Lunenburg Central High School’s junior-varsity basketball roster as a forward, which aligns with the name and locality but does not shed light on the disappearance.

Whoever saw Ellic or has information about his movements after February 12, 2026, is urged to contact the Mecklenburg County Sheriff’s Office or the Virginia Missing Children’s Clearinghouse.
