Cody ‘Clix’ Conrod and FaZe Clan’s Nick ‘Lacy’ helped find a missing boy thanks to a chance encounter on an IRL stream.
The pair of content creators werestreaming out on the streets of Miamion July 2 when they decided to sit and eat at a local cafe. They sat outside, chatting with people passing by and nearby tables when a tanned boy in green shorts started talking to them, asking them if they were partying.
The two only interacted with the person for a short time where he acted erratically and eventually walked away from the pair.
Lacyposted on social mediathe next day that he had been contacted by the boy’s older brother via email. The message said the boy, Troy Coleman, was from Michigan and hadbeen missing from Flint Township for three months.
“He is not on drugs, he is schizophrenic and he is 17 years old if someone can contact me about this I would be so thankful. He has been missing for three months and his case was put on homicide in Michigan,” the email said.
The creator said he put out the message and a photo of the boy on his social media so that it could help him and his family reunite.
Lacy released a follow-up post about the situation on July 4, saying he told the boy’s brother what hotel he was staying at in Miami.
