A 16-year-old boy from Northeast Miami-Dade hasn't made contact with family or friends in more than a week, and deputies are now asking the public for help finding him. Prince-Charm Allison was last seen on Oct. 4 in the 1300 block of Northeast 110th Terrace, a neighborhood sitting near the Biscayne Park and North Miami borders between Biscayne Boulevard and Interstate 95.
The complete silence since his disappearance is what's driving the renewed public appeal, according to WPLG Local 10, which reported that Allison has not reached out to anyone since vanishing more than a week ago. The Miami-Dade Sheriff's Office describes him as 5 feet 7 inches tall and around 150 pounds, with black hair and brown eyes. He was last seen wearing a blue shirt and red shorts, according to WSVN.
Detectives Say Teen May Need Services
WSVN reported that Allison may need services. What kind of services Allison may need, and whether detectives have turned up any digital, video, or witness leads since he was last seen, remain open questions the sheriff's office has not addressed publicly.
The case falls under the Miami-Dade Sheriff's Office Special Victims Bureau Missing Persons Squad, headquartered at 1701 NW 87th Avenue in Doral, according to My Florida Legal. A 2018 state constitutional amendment created an independently elected Miami-Dade Sheriff's Office, and Sheriff Rosie Cordero-Stutz took office in January 2025.
Anyone With Information Urged to Call
Officials are asking anyone with information to contact MDSO Deputy A. Madrigal at 305-715-3300 or 305-715-3214, or by email at [email protected]. Tipsters who prefer to stay anonymous can instead call Miami-Dade Crime Stoppers at 305-471-TIPS (8477), which forwards reports directly to assigned detectives without revealing the caller's identity.
Allison's case is one of hundreds moving through the county's missing persons system at any given time. The Miami-Dade Sheriff's Office Missing Persons Unit investigates more than 1,000 missing person cases every year, and as of September 2026 there were 258 published missing persons cases active across the county, figures presented during a joint missing and unidentified persons event at Florida International University.
State Law Sets Strict Reporting Rules
Florida law leaves no room for delay in cases involving missing children. Under Florida Statute § 937.021, law enforcement agencies must accept missing child reports immediately, without any waiting period, and transmit case information into state and national law enforcement databases within two hours, according to Uncovered. If a case remains unresolved after 90 days, agencies must forward the file to the National Missing and Unidentified Persons System, a searchable database used by forensic investigators and the public, according to the same report.
Florida has had an infrastructure for these cases since 1983, when the Florida Department of Law Enforcement established the Missing Endangered Persons Information Clearinghouse, the nation's first state-level clearinghouse of its kind, according to the Florida Department of Law Enforcement.
Allison's disappearance adds to a string of recent Miami-Dade missing person cases Hoodline has covered in recent weeks, including searches for a missing 13-year-old girl and a missing 12-year-old Gladeview girl, as well as the safe recovery of a 12-year-old boy found after a Northwest Miami-Dade search. For now, Prince-Charm Allison remains unaccounted for, and deputies say any tip, however small, could help bring him home.
