Louisiana State Police issued a Level II Endangered/Missing Child Advisory on June 11 for 17-year-old Trenton Reeves after he was found missing late the night before from a home on Eastview Drive in New Orleans. Authorities say Reeves was discovered missing at approximately 9:37 p.m. on Wednesday, June 10, and is believed to have left the residence with Tommie Mango.
The alert lists specific identifying details to help locate the pair. Reeves is described as a white male with brown eyes and short brown hair, standing about 5'6" and weighing roughly 145 pounds. He was last seen wearing a black T‑shirt, black pants and black shoes. Mango is described as a black male with brown eyes and black hair, about 6'1" and 170 pounds.
Police said the two are believed to be traveling in a brown 2014 Mercedes‑Benz ML350 bearing Louisiana license plate HB 1576. The plate is a Louisiana “Save the Honeybee” specialty plate and was included in the advisory to assist motorists and law enforcement in identifying the vehicle.
Family members reported that Reeves is non‑verbal and has a medical condition that may impair his judgment, a detail state police included when issuing the Level II Endangered/Missing Child Advisory. That combination—a teenager who may not be able to communicate effectively and a potential impairment of judgment—was cited by authorities as a reason for the elevated public alert.
Louisiana State Police received the request to issue the alert at approximately 1:32 a.m. on June 11 and released the advisory that same day on behalf of the New Orleans Police Department. The department is the investigating agency; state troopers circulated the advisory to law enforcement partners and the public to widen the search perimeter and public awareness.
Authorities say they believe Reeves left the residence with Mango, but they have not said whether Mango is suspected of wrongdoing. Where the two are now is not known; investigators included the vehicle description and plate number in part to prompt immediate tips about movements or sightings tied to the Mercedes‑Benz.
Police are asking anyone with information to contact the New Orleans Police Department at 504‑821‑2222 or to call 911. Because Reeves is a minor, non‑verbal and reported to have a medical condition that could affect his decision‑making, officials emphasized the need for rapid reports from the public that could narrow the search or confirm the vehicle's location.
The central unanswered question is simple and urgent: where are Trenton Reeves and Tommie Mango now? Law enforcement has named the companion and the vehicle but has not provided further public details about their destination or whether either individual is a suspect; the next step is public response to the plate and physical descriptions. Anyone who recognizes the car with plate HB 1576 or who believes they have seen either Reeves or Mango should call NOPD at 504‑821‑2222 or 911 immediately.
