A 15-year-old Phoenix boy is missing, and police are now asking the public for help finding him. Police say Raynard Polingyowma's family is worried about his welfare.
Phoenix Police asked the public to help locate him in a department notice.
Polingyowma is described as 5 feet 11 inches tall and weighing 135 pounds, with black hair and brown eyes.
Family's Welfare Concerns
Police have not released further details about the circumstances of his disappearance.

What Missing-Person Counts Measure
The verified FBI figures do not provide an annual count of missing-person reports involving juveniles in Arizona. Nationally, the Federal Bureau of Investigation reported 533,936 missing-person records entered into NCIC and 537,446 purged during 2024. Those are record transactions, not a count of people still missing at year-end.
How To Help
Anyone with information about Raynard Polingyowma's location is asked to call the Phoenix Police Department directly rather than reply through social media.
