Missing Mich. teen spotted by brother on Twitch stream in Miami
A Michigan boy who went missing in May has reportedly been spotted on an influencer’s livestream in Miami — the first time he’d been seen in weeks.
Troy Coleman, 17, was last seen in Mt. Morris Township, Michigan, on May 17, his father Weston Coleman told Townsquare Media right after he was reported missing.
The missing teen’s father said he is unarmed and does not pose any danger to anyone, however, he does suffer from hallucinations and requires medication that he does not have with him.
Several possible sightings of the teen were reported in May, including one of a person resembling Troy seen at a car show outside Flint, Michigan. None of the previous reports were confirmed.
News that the missing teen was spotted last week 1,200 miles away in South Florida was shared by streamer FaZe Lacy on Wednesday after Troy’s brother reportedly sent an email to the streamer saying he believes Troy popped up randomly in a livestream video.
The brother, who identified himself as Trent Coleman in the message shared by Lacy, said police were previously investigating whether Troy was dead.
“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,” Lacy, a social media influencer and Twitch streamer, wrote.
The boy Lacy claims is Troy is seen in the video wearing no shirt, neon green swim shorts and carrying what appears to be a black sweatshirt.
It was not immediately clear how the streamer identified the missing teen in his video.
Troy Coleman, who is 6-foot-4 and weighs between 165 to 180 pounds, has blue eyes and brown hair.
He was last seen wearing a black hoodie with gray sweatpants and white slide-on shoes, his father said.
Authorities ask anyone with information to contact the Flint Township Police Department at 810-600-3250.
