Michigan Teen Missing For Weeks. Then Someone Saw This

A 17-year-old Michigan resident who has been missing for weeks has been found in Florida, police said — and it's apparently the result of a live stream.

Troy Coleman was last seen leaving his home in Flint Township and possibly boarding an MTA bus, the Flint Township Police Department said in a Facebook post on May 21.

Last week, someone claiming to be his brother was watching a Twitch stream of popular content producer FaZe Lacy and his friend Clix, according to the email posted to the streamer's X account.

During the stream, which took place in Miami, Lacy apparently focused the camera on Coleman.

The email seen on X read: “Hello, my name is Trent Coleman and my missing little brother from Michigan was on Clix and Lacy’s stream in Miami, he was wearing green shorts… He is not on drugs, he is schizophrenic…”

The brother reportedly contacted the streamers and then Flint County authorities about his missing brother.

Lacy said in a post on X that Coleman came to him and Clix to talk to them, and as a result, his family now knows he is alive and in Miami.

In a Facebook post Thursday, the Flint Township Police Department confirmed that Coleman had been found safe in Miami “and we are working with local authorities to arrange for his safe return to Michigan to be with his family.”

Police Department officials did not respond to requests for comment Friday. Coleman's relatives were not immediately available.
