Missing Juvenile Alert: Help Find 17-Year-Old Keaton Morris

Disappearance in Pascagoula
Missing person in Mississippi. The Pascagoula Police Department is urgently requesting public assistance in locating 17-year-old Keaton Morris, a juvenile listed as voluntarily missing. His family last saw him on August 12, 2025, and since then, there has been no confirmed trace of his whereabouts. Authorities believe he may have traveled toward Gulfport, Mississippi, or could still be within Pascagoula.
Description of Keaton
Keaton is described as a white male, 5’11” tall, weighing approximately 150 pounds. He has blonde hair and blue eyes, features that make him easy to recognize. Unfortunately, his clothing at the time of disappearance remains unknown, which adds difficulty to the search efforts. Residents in both Pascagoula and Gulfport are urged to stay observant.
Timeline of Events
The family last interacted with Keaton on August 12, before he left without clear direction or explanation. Since then, his name has been entered into official missing reports, and police have begun working with regional law enforcement to widen the search radius. Because Keaton is considered voluntarily missing, the urgency stems from both his age and the uncertainty about who he may be with or where he may have gone.
Family’s Plea for Help
Keaton’s loved ones are devastated and are asking for community support. For them, every hour feels like a lifetime as they wait for news. They emphasize that this behavior is unusual and that Keaton may need guidance and protection. His family is hopeful that someone in Pascagoula or Gulfport will recognize him and call authorities.
Community Role
Community vigilance is essential. Even if details seem minor, they could provide leads. For example, spotting a teen resembling Keaton near a gas station, park, or public area could help narrow the search. Residents with home security cameras or dashcams are encouraged to review their recordings from the days surrounding his disappearance.
Contact Information
If you know anything about Keaton’s location, please contact the Pascagoula Police Department immediately at (228) 762-2211. Tips may also be submitted via the department’s Facebook page. Remaining silent could mean delaying the help he needs—your information may be the key to bringing him back safely.
A Call for Action
This case is a reminder that missing youth need immediate attention, regardless of whether they left voluntarily or under suspicious circumstances. At 17, Keaton is still vulnerable. His safe return depends on awareness, quick reporting, and strong community action. By working together, Pascagoula and surrounding areas can ensure he returns to his family.
Keaton deserves to be home, not a name on a missing poster. Let’s keep his story alive until he is found.
