A 17-year-old boy who was feared dead after he went missing in May has reportedly been spotted on an influencer’s livestream.

Troy Coleman was reported missing by his family after he was last seen in Mt. Morris Township, Michigan, on May 17, his father Weston Coleman revealed to Townsquare Media.

The missing teenager’s father said his son is unarmed and is not a threat to anyone, however, he does suffer from hallucinations and requires medication that he does not have with him.

According to the outlet, several possible sightings of the teen were reported that same month he went missing, including one of him possibly being at a car show outside Flint, Michigan. However, none of these were confirmed.

Troy's family was granted good news after the teen was reportedly spotted 1,200 miles away on influencer FaZe Lacy's livestream.

“Yesterday on stream he came up to me and Clix and now his family knows he is alive and in Miami. I wasn’t sure if I should make this public but im hoping somehow this helps him be found for his family,” the social media influencer penned on X (formerly Twitter) on Wednesday (July 3).

A video of the moment was shared online and shows the content creator and his friend broadcasting in Miami when a shirtless young man in bright green shorts was seen walking up the street.

The boy talks to the streamers while they eat al fresco at a restaurant. Eventually, the conversation concludes and he walks away.

The streamer revealed in the post that the missing boy's brother, Trent Coleman, reportedly sent him an email stating that he believes Troy popped up randomly in the video.

"Hello, my name is Trent Coleman and my missing little brother from Michigan was on Clix and Lacy's stream in Miami," the email read.

"He was wearing green shorts and they were making fun of him, he is not on drugs he is schizophrenic and he is 17 years old if someone can contact me about this I would be so thankful he has been missing for 3 months and his case was put on homicide in Michigan," they added.

Troy is 6-foot-4 and weighs between 165 to 180 pounds. He also has blue eyes and brown hair.

Per reports, he was last spotted wearing a black hoodie with gray sweatpants and white slide-on shoes, his father said.
