ATLANTA, GA — Authorities are asking for the public’s help locating a missing Florida teenager after his truck was found empty in Atlanta. Deputies say 16-year-old Levi James Conner has been missing since Oct. 23 and is considered endangered.

The Osceola County Sheriff’s Office says Conner left St. Cloud, Florida, in a gray 2019 Ford F-150 with Florida license plate 49BQPG. Atlanta police later found the truck unoccupied near Lakewood Avenue and Lakewood Raceway, but investigators have not said how the vehicle ended up there.

Officials are urging anyone who may have seen Conner to contact law enforcement right away.

What investigators say about Levi James Conner

Conner is described as 5 feet, 11 inches tall and about 110 pounds, with brown eyes and brown hair. Deputies say he was last known to be wearing a blue hooded sweatshirt, gray sweatpants and a black skullcap.

The sheriff’s office has identified him as endangered, a designation that underscores the urgency of the search. Authorities have not released additional details about where he may have been headed or why he traveled from central Florida to Georgia.

For now, investigators are focusing on public sightings and any information that could narrow the timeline between when he was last seen and when the truck was located.

How the truck was discovered in Atlanta

According to the Osceola County Sheriff’s Office, Atlanta police found the Ford F-150 empty near Lakewood Avenue and Lakewood Raceway. That discovery has become the key lead in the case as deputies work to piece together Conner’s movements.

The vehicle’s recovery in Atlanta gives investigators a new geographic focus, even as the teen’s location remains unknown. Authorities have not said whether anyone else was connected to the truck or whether there were signs of what happened inside or around it.

The search now stretches across state lines, with Florida and Georgia law enforcement both tied to the investigation.

Why the Osceola County Sheriff's Office is calling for help

In a Facebook post, deputies said Levi’s whereabouts remain unknown and asked anyone with information to come forward. They also encouraged residents in the Atlanta area to stay alert and report anything that could help investigators.

That request reflects the urgency of the case, especially because Conner is a minor and officials say he is endangered. In missing-person investigations, even small details from the public can help establish where a person was seen last or where a vehicle may have passed through.

Authorities have not announced any major update beyond the truck recovery and the public appeal.

What the public should do if they have information

Anyone with information about Conner’s location is being asked to call the Osceola County Sheriff’s Office at 407-348-2222 or dial 911. Deputies are treating the case as urgent and want tips passed along as quickly as possible.

Officials have not said whether they believe Conner may still be in Georgia or could have traveled elsewhere. For now, the most important lead remains the empty truck and any witness who may have seen the teen or the vehicle in the Atlanta area.

Law enforcement says even a brief sighting or a small detail could help move the search forward.

A cross state search with few answers so far

The case has left investigators with more questions than answers. Conner was last known to be in Florida, but his vehicle was recovered in Georgia, creating a gap that authorities are now trying to fill.

Without a confirmed sighting of the teen after Oct. 23, deputies are relying on the public and on any new leads that might surface in either state. The sheriff’s office has continued to stress that Conner’s current whereabouts remain unknown.

As the search continues, officials are asking people in both Florida and Atlanta to remain aware and report anything relevant to investigators.
