Missing Teenager from Haverstraw Located

Franyer Cruz Dominguez, a 17-year-old from Haverstraw who went missing after leaving his school in Orangetown, has been safely located and is now back home.

Franyer left his school earlier last week, taking a cab to 197th Street and University Avenue in the Bronx, where he disappeared without contact. His family was left deeply concerned, prompting an urgent search effort

Community advocates Zahira Rodriguez, Ramon Soto, and Carmen Tavarez aided in that search, created flyers of the teen and spreading the word on social media.   

On Sunday, Franyer’s family confirmed that he was found alive on a train in Manhattan. They expressed relief and gratitude while sharing that they were by his side in an undisclosed hospital.
