Deonray Markel Riley disappeared from a group home in Buckeye, Arizona on November 13, 2019. He was 16 at the time, described as Black/African American, with black hair and brown eyes, 5 feet 6 inches tall and about 160 pounds. He was last seen wearing a black hoodie and black pants.

The Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office (case 19-034986) and the Buckeye Police Major Crimes Unit handled the investigation. The case was entered into NamUs on December 19, 2019 (MP62616) and remained listed on national missing persons databases; a late 2021 article noted he was still missing from the Buckeye area. The disappearance has been a prolonged and painful uncertainty for those who know him.

If anyone has information about Deonray’s whereabouts or saw him in Buckeye around November 13, 2019, please come forward to the investigating agency.
