The Lake County Sheriff’s Office is asking the public for help finding a missing teenager last seen at his home in Sorrento late Monday evening.
Mason J. Requeiro, 15, was last seen on June 9, 2026, at approximately 10:30 pm at his residence in Sorrento, Florida. The Lake County Sheriff’s Office officially posted the alert and is actively seeking leads from anyone who may have information about his whereabouts.
Mason is described as a Hispanic male, standing 5 feet 8 inches tall and weighing around 130 pounds. He has black hair and brown eyes.
When he was last seen, he was wearing a black t-shirt, black pants, and black and white Nike sneakers. Investigators have assigned the case number 260060852 to this investigation.
The disappearance has drawn widespread concern from the local community and beyond, with residents on social media expressing worry and urging others to share the alert as widely as possible.
Many community members are praying for his safe return, and the post has been circulating rapidly across Facebook and other platforms since it was published by both the Lake County Sheriff’s Office and the Missing People In America organization.
A Community United in Concern
The response from the public has been immediate and emotional. Dozens of people have taken to the comments section of the official Lake County Sheriff’s Office Facebook post to share their thoughts.
Many expressed heartbreak over yet another child going missing, with one commenter writing that there are too many children disappearing and praying that Mason returns home safely. Others echoed similar sentiments, calling for prayers and urging neighbors across Lake County and surrounding areas to keep their eyes open.
The case has also been added to the Missing People In America database, which the organization describes as the largest interactive missing person database in the country. The group verifies and posts only official cases, meaning Mason’s case has been confirmed through law enforcement channels before being publicized.
How to Help Find Mason
Authorities are urging anyone with information about Mason Requeiro’s location to come forward immediately. Tips can be submitted through several channels.
The Lake County Sheriff’s Office can be reached directly by phone at 352-343-2101 or by email at [email protected]. Anonymous tips can also be submitted to CRIMELINE at 1-800-423-8477, which allows callers to share information without identifying themselves.
Officials have noted that the social media pages associated with the Lake County Sheriff’s Office may not be regularly monitored, so anyone with actual tips or information should use the phone number, email address, or CRIMELINE rather than posting in comment sections on social media.
Time is critical in missing persons cases, especially when a minor is involved. Law enforcement and family members are asking the public to share Mason’s information across all platforms to maximize visibility and increase the chances of a quick and safe resolution.
If you live in or around Sorrento, Mount Dora, Eustis, or anywhere in Lake County, please remain alert and report anything suspicious. Mason deserves to come home safe.
