In the autumn of 2017, 16-year-old Rony Hernandez-Benitez disappeared from his home in Rochester, New York. He was last seen on October 3, 2017. At the time he went missing he was described as five feet two inches tall, about 110 pounds, with black hair and brown eyes, and of Hispanic and White descent.

The Gates Town Police Department initially classified the case as a juvenile runaway. Public details about the circumstances of his departure and any investigative developments are sparse, leaving many unanswered questions about where he might have gone and why. His family continues to carry the uncertainty about his safety and whereabouts.

If anyone saw Rony around October 3, 2017, or has information about where he might be now, please come forward.
