Irving police are asking residents to speak up and check their cameras as they search for 15‑year‑old Cameron Matar, who was reported missing yesterday after appearing on surveillance video near Las Colinas. Footage shows Cameron walking south on O'Connor Road from the Lake Carolyn Parkway intersection around 4 p.m., and officers say he is considered an endangered missing person.
Cameron is described as 6 feet 1 inch tall and about 120 pounds, with brown hair and brown eyes. Police say he has been diagnosed with high‑functioning autism. He was last reported wearing a blue jacket, possibly a black shirt underneath, and red basketball shorts.
What Police Have Released
According to the Irving Police Department, the case is logged as number 26‑99, and an endangered missing person alert is being activated with the Texas Department of Public Safety to widen the search. The department’s release confirms Cameron’s clothing and physical description, along with the time and location where he was last seen on video.
Officers are asking anyone who might have seen Cameron, or who has relevant video from home, business or dash cameras in the area, to contact the Irving Police non‑emergency number at (972) 273‑1010 or call 911.
Where He Was Last Seen
The Lake Carolyn Parkway and O'Connor Road area sits in Irving’s Las Colinas district, near DART light rail stops and lakeside promenades, a part of town where cameras and foot traffic are common. According to DART, the nearby stations and promenades draw a steady mix of commuters and residents each day, a level of activity that could help investigators firm up Cameron’s timeline.
Search efforts may focus on nearby apartment communities, the lakeside promenade, and businesses around the Toyota Music Factory entertainment area, as officers work to track any additional sightings.
How To Help
Per the Irving Police Department, anyone who spots Cameron or has video from the Lake Carolyn and O'Connor corridor is urged to contact police immediately and mention case number 26‑99. If you believe you are seeing him in real time, call 911 so officers can respond on the spot.
Investigators stress that even brief sightings, partial details, or short video clips can be important during the early stages of a search, and they are asking the public to review any footage from Friday afternoon in the Las Colinas area.
