Johnny Wallace, 15, was last seen on July 19, 2026, in Auburndale, Polk County. He is a Black male, five feet ten inches tall, about 140 pounds, with brown hair and brown eyes. On the day he went missing he reportedly wore a black hoodie, a black and yellow jersey, dark-colored shorts and black slides, and may have been carrying a black backpack.

Johnny left a custodial home on foot in the company of another juvenile, Alonzo Jones. Investigators and his guardians say the two walked away together and there are no public details about a destination or route. The Polk County Sheriff’s Office is handling the case and detectives have been reconstructing the timeline before the departure. The circumstances as reported indicate a planned departure by the two teens rather than an immediate sign of foul play.

If anyone saw Johnny or knows where he and Alonzo went after leaving the custodial home, please share what you know with the Polk County Sheriff’s Office.
