Police in Monroe County are asking for help finding a missing teenager who was last seen at his home in Honeoye Falls. Darren Prince, 15, was reported missing after he disappeared on Wednesday evening at around 6 pm. According to Sgt Caitlin Toomey from the Monroe County Sheriff’s Office, he was last seen at the house, but it’s unclear what he was wearing when he went missing.
Darren is described as about 5ft 10in tall and weighing roughly 115 pounds. He has brown hair and a slim build. At the moment, police say there’s no evidence that he is in danger, but his disappearance has left family and neighbours deeply concerned.
Authorities are urging anyone who might have seen Darren or knows where he is to come forward. The Sheriff’s Office stressed that even the smallest detail could make a difference in tracking him down. Local residents are being asked to keep an eye out in case Darren is spotted in the area, whether in shops, on public transport, or walking nearby.
The search is already underway with officers speaking to people in the community and checking the areas Darren is known to visit. Volunteers and locals are expected to join in as word spreads about his disappearance. Missing person appeals like this often rely heavily on members of the public stepping in with tips, sightings, or CCTV that can narrow down the search.
Family and friends are said to be distraught but hopeful as efforts intensify. In similar cases, quick action and shared information have been crucial in bringing missing young people home safely. The Sheriff’s Office is working around the clock, but emphasises that the community’s role could be critical.
If you live in the area or were nearby on Wednesday evening, police say it’s worth thinking back to whether you saw someone matching Darren’s description. Even if it seemed unimportant at the time, that moment might help put together a clearer picture of what happened after he was last seen.
This appeal highlights how quickly a routine evening can turn into a worrying search, and how vital community awareness is when a teenager goes missing. While police are cautious about drawing conclusions, they remain hopeful that with enough eyes and ears on the ground, Darren can be found safe and returned to his family.
Word of the search is spreading quickly, with many in Honeoye Falls sharing the details in hopes of bringing Darren home. At just 15 years old, his disappearance has shaken those who know him and sparked a wave of concern across the area.
As Sgt Toomey explained, “there’s no evidence to suggest Prince is in any danger.” Still, the focus is firmly on locating him as soon as possible and ensuring his well-being.
