Zarius Brown, 16, was last seen Tuesday, July 8, 2025, at a residence on Woodmont Avenue in Jackson, Tennessee. He left the home that day under unclear circumstances and did not return. His family reported him missing the following day, July 9, 2025, and the Jackson Police Department opened an investigation.

Zarius is described as a Black/African American male, about five feet, eleven inches tall, 188 pounds, with brown hair and brown eyes. When last seen he was wearing all black and carrying a green backpack. Those few concrete details — the known address, clothing and the backpack — are central to the search but so far have not produced publicly released leads.

Does anyone who lived near Woodmont Avenue or who saw a teenager matching Zarius’s description on July 8, 2025, have information that could help locate him?
