Feliceo Cortez, an autistic fourteen-year-old boy, has been missing for two days. At the end of the school day on Friday, May 16th, at about 2:00 p.m., he boarded a city bus to go home instead of getting on a school bus, as he normally would. Feliceo was seen about forty minutes later at the Sheepshead Bay Q line subway station.

He had left Leon M. Goldstein High School for the Sciences at Kings borough Community College in Manhattan Beach to go to his home at 2119 Beverley Road, between E. 21st Street and Flatbush Avenue.

Feliceo is 6 feet and 1 inch tall, weighs 135 pounds, and has brown eyes, black, close-cut hair, a long scar down his back, and burn marks on his hands.

He was wearing a gray hooded sweatshirt, a black t-shirt, blue jeans, and black Converse high-top sneakers when he was last seen.


To pass along information about his whereabouts, call the NYPD’s Crime Stoppers hotline at (800) 577-TIPS or log onto the Crime Stoppers website or text tips to 274637 (CRIMES) and enter TIP577.
