Reports circulating online claim that Captain Gavin Wong, described as a member of the New York City Department of Correction, has gone missing in New York City.
According to the report, Wong was allegedly last seen on September 11, 2026, near 102nd Street and Second Avenue in Manhattan. The report says that family members and colleagues are concerned about his whereabouts and have appealed for information.
However, the reported disappearance has not been independently confirmed through a reliable official source.
Reported Missing-Person Search
The information circulating online describes Wong as a correctional captain assigned to RNDC and says that colleagues within the correctional community have joined his family in seeking information about his whereabouts.
The report also describes him as a vulnerable adult and expresses concern that cognitive difficulties could potentially leave him confused or disoriented.
These details have not been independently verified through an official New York City Department of Correction announcement or a publicly accessible police missing-person notice.
Gavin Wong and the NYC Department of Correction
Public employment records do show a Gavin Wong associated with the New York City Department of Correction. A government-salary database lists him as a correction officer with the department in 2019.
However, that record does not establish that the individual is the same person described in the September 2026 missing-person report, nor does it confirm his current rank or circumstances.
No Official Confirmation Located
Searches for a September 2026 missing-person announcement involving Captain Gavin Wong did not locate a matching NYPD statement, NYC Department of Correction announcement, family statement or reputable local-news report.
As a result, the reported disappearance should currently be treated as unconfirmed.
Anyone who encounters a missing-person appeal should rely on information released by law enforcement or the individual’s family rather than reposting unverified claims.
Search for Information Continues
If the reported disappearance is subsequently confirmed by authorities or the family, additional verified information about Wong’s last known whereabouts and the official search can be added.
Until then, details about his current status, circumstances, health or whereabouts remain unverified.
The report should be updated if the NYPD, NYC Department of Correction, Wong’s family or another authoritative source confirms the disappearance.
