Help find missing 25-year-old Khyondre Corbin, Ran off after traffic stop by Dallas Police
DALLAS, Texas — The family of 25-year-old Khyondre Corbin is pleading for answers after he mysteriously disappeared following a traffic stop by Dallas Police on May 12, 2025.
According to his mother, Mellissa Thomas, Corbin was pulled over near Fuel City on Riverfront Boulevard.
Police reported that he “ran off” during the stop. However, his car was left behind, his phone was still inside, and he has not contacted anyone since.
Loved ones say it is completely out of character for Corbin to vanish without reaching out.
His mother describes the ordeal as a living nightmare, made worse by what she says is a lack of cooperation and transparency from law enforcement.
Despite repeated requests, Dallas Police have not released body camera footage from the incident.
A missing person report has been filed, and Thomas continues to push for the truth about what happened to her son.
“I just want my child back — or at least answers,” she said.
Anyone with information on Corbin’s whereabouts is urged to call 911 immediately, or contact his mother directly at 214-229-4704.
The community is encouraged to share his story and keep pressure on authorities until answers are found.

29-Year-Old Alex Rodriguez Found Dead on University of Illinois at Urbana–Champaign, No Foul Play Suspected
URBANA, Ill. — A 29-year-old Champaign man found dead on the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign campus Monday morning has been identified as Alex C. Rodriguez, according to the Champaign County Coroner’s Office.
The University of Illinois Police Department (UIPD) responded to the area of Green and Wright streets at approximately 6:42 a.m. after receiving a report of an unresponsive person near the Alma Mater statue.
Officers arrived and found Rodriguez on a concrete bench. Emergency medical assistance was requested at the scene.
The Champaign County Coroner’s Office responded, and Rodriguez was pronounced dead at approximately 7:16 a.m., according to Coroner Laurie Brauer.
Authorities said Rodriguez was not affiliated with the University of Illinois.
UIPD provided an update Monday afternoon, saying preliminary observations at the scene revealed no signs of foul play.
Police also said there was no evidence of an ongoing threat to the university campus or surrounding community based on the information available when officers responded.
Because investigators did not identify an active threat, the university did not issue an Illini-Alert emergency notification.
The circumstances surrounding Rodriguez’s death have not been determined.
An autopsy has been scheduled, and the death remains under investigation by the University of Illinois Police Department.
Authorities have not released additional information about the circumstances leading to Rodriguez’s death.
The investigation remains ongoing, and additional details are expected as investigators receive further information from the autopsy and other evidence.
No foul play has been indicated based on the preliminary investigation.
