Thirteen-year-old Jayden Hernandez-Jackson disappeared from Baltimore, Maryland, on August 11, 2026, and as of September 8, 2026, he has not been located. The National Center for Missing & Exploited Children continues to list him as a missing child under case number 2098029, with NCIC number M149052026. Official records state that Jayden was last seen on the same date he was reported missing. He is described only as a male who is now 13 years old. Public materials released by NCMEC and circulated by missing-child advocates do not include a detailed physical description, last-known clothing, a specific neighborhood, or an explanation of the circumstances surrounding his disappearance.

The investigating agency is the Baltimore City Police Department. Anyone who believes they have seen Jayden or who has information that could help find him is asked to call 911 immediately or contact the department at (410) 396-2444. Tips can also be submitted through NCMEC. The official poster remains active on the NCMEC website, which is the primary public source for the case. In the days after the disappearance, the flyer was shared by missing-persons advocates and local scanner accounts on social media, but those posts largely repeated the same limited facts rather than adding new investigative details.

Nearly four weeks have now pᴀssed. There has been no widely reported public update from Baltimore police confirming that Jayden has been found, and the NCMEC listing has not been taken down. That silence does not mean the search has ended. It means the public record is still thin, and the most useful action remains the same as it was on day one: look at the official poster, remember his name, and call police if anything looks familiar. Families, neighbors, and anyone who travels through Baltimore can help by sharing the verified NCMEC information rather than unverified rumors.

If you have seen this child, call 911. If you want to support child-safety work more broadly, NCMEC also accepts donations and tips through its website. The facts that can be stated with certainty today are still the ones published on the original poster: Jayden Hernandez-Jackson, 13, male, last seen August 11, 2026, in Baltimore, Maryland, case NCMEC 2098029.
