Case Information
19 year old Alexander Silva III, also known as AJ, was last seen in Houston, Texas on April 16, 2021. He hasn’t been heard from since.
Background
At the time of his disappearance, AJ was wearing an ankle monitor due to a retaliation charge he received in early 2021.
Disappearance
On April 16, 2021, AJ Silva III was last seen near a warehouse on Lumberdale Road in Houston, Texas. He hasn’t been seen or heard from since.
He was wearing an ankle monitor, which pinged in that location for 41 hours before it stopped transmitting. Data from the device shows it was tampered with before it stopped transmitting.
His family says it’s highly uncharacteristic of him to be out of contact with loved ones.

Foul play is suspected in AJ’s disappearance, though no arrests have been made.

Hispanic/Black male with brown hair and brown eyes. AJ stands 5’7 tall and weighs 140 pounds.
He has several tattoos: “KING” on the side of his neck, “EASTSIDE” on his chest, “SILVA” on his back, and a Houston Rockets tattoo above his knee.
