A family in Denton, Texas, is enduring every parent’s worst nightmare as they search for their missing child. Sixteen-year-old Mehki Ervin has been reported missing, and loved ones are urgently asking for the public’s help while holding on to faith and hope for his safe return.
According to authorities, Mehki has been missing since January 21, 2026, and was last seen in the Denton area.

Each passing day without answers has been filled with worry, prayers, and a plea for information that could help bring him home.
The Denton Police Department is actively investigating Mehki’s disappearance. Officers emphasize that missing juvenile cases depend heavily on timely and accurate information from the public. Even small details—such as sightings, conversations, or online interactions—may provide critical leads that assist investigators in understanding where Mehki may be or who he may have been in contact with.
Mehki’s family has expressed deep gratitude for the community’s prayers, support, and willingness to share verified information. Friends and neighbors are rallying around them, offering encouragement while hoping for positive news. As many have shared, no parent should ever have to experience the fear and helplessness that comes with a missing child.
Authorities urge residents to stay alert, check security cameras, doorbell footage, and social media activity that may be relevant to the case. They also ask the public to avoid speculation and rely on confirmed information provided by law enforcement to protect the integrity of the investigation.
