Authorities in Laredo are requesting public assistance in locating a 75-year-old man who has been reported missing, as concern continues to grow for his safety and wellbeing.
According to the Laredo Police Department, the man, identified as Mariano Rodriguez, was last seen in the area near the 1006 block of East Hillside. His disappearance was reported after he was no longer able to be reached or located by family and community members.
At the time he was last seen, he was described as wearing a white shirt paired with black jogger-style pants. Police have released this description in hopes that members of the public may be able to recognize him if spotted in the area or nearby neighborhoods.
Authorities have noted that Mr. Rodriguez is an elderly individual, and there is concern that he may require support or assistance as efforts continue to locate him safely. Due to this, officials are encouraging the public to remain attentive and report any possible sightings without delay.
Law enforcement officers are actively following leads and coordinating efforts to check locations where he may have traveled. Community involvement is being considered an important part of the search, as residents are often able to provide valuable observations that help guide investigators.
Family members are said to be deeply concerned and are hoping for his safe return. Police emphasize that even small details—such as noticing someone matching his description walking in the area—could help bring the investigation closer to a resolution.
The Laredo Police Department is asking anyone with information, no matter how minor it may seem, to come forward and assist in the ongoing search. Individuals who believe they may have seen Mr. Rodriguez or who have any knowledge of his whereabouts are urged to contact the Laredo Police Department directly at (956) 795-2800.
