The Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department is urgently requesting the public's assistance in locating Elliot Matthew Dixon, a 33-year-old black male last spotted on Western Avenue in the heart of Los Angeles on an October afternoon. The concern for Dixon, who battles the twin challenges of mental health issues and diabetes, runs high among those who seek to ensure his safety.
Dixon was described as having black eyes, black hair, and a distinctive hairstyle that includes a beard.

The man's details were made public in a bulletin dispatched by the Sheriff's Information Bureau of the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department.
The Sheriff's Department has encouraged anyone with information about this pressing incident to make contact with the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department's Missing Persons Unit at (323) 890-5500. In cases where anonymity is preferred, individuals can choose to reach out to "Crime Stoppers" by dialing (800) 222-TIPS (8477), or by utilizing their online platforms on smartphones via the “P3 Tips” mobile app or their website.
