The Los Angeles Sheriff's Department issued a call to arms to the public today, imploring citizens to come forward with any information that could lead to locating Abranham Jose Sanchez, a man deemed at-risk after his disappearance in Lancaster.

Sanchez, a 30-year-old black male with distinctive features including a star tattoo on his face and a scar on his right arm, was last seen in the early hours of November 29 on Cedar Avenue. He is described as 5-feet-10-inches tall and 160 pounds, sporting a "Lakers" hat, a black shirt, tan pants, and black shoes, and his appearance is further marked by a goatee and brown eyes. Authorities are deeply concerned for his safety, given his schizophrenia diagnosis.

In the statement released by the Sheriff's Information Bureau, the seriousness of the situation is underscored by the LASD's outreach for help, which includes a call to action for anyone with information to make contact with the department's Missing Persons Unit.
