A 17-year-old boy who had been missing since May from Flint, Michigan, was found after suddenly appearing in a livestreamed video on Wednesday.
Troy Coleman, who was last seen leaving his home in Flint in late May, possibly boarding a public bus, surprised popular Twitch streamers Fayce Lacey and Clix as they were recording a live video at an outdoor table at a Miami restaurant.
“Hey, what up?” a man can be heard asking Coleman, who wanders around the outdoor tables talking to people throughout Fayce Lacey’s livestream.
Coleman was wearing a neon green swimsuit and appeared to have no other possessions besides a sweatshirt.

Dozens of people watching the live video left real-time comments as Coleman appeared, calling him a “drug addict” and a “drunkard.”
Faize Lacey then shared an email on X from Trent Coleman, who identified himself as Coleman’s brother.
