The Chicago police are actively searching for a missing 28-year-old man named Jairo Munoz, who was last seen on January 18th, 2024. According to a statement released by the police, Munoz is considered an endangered missing adult due to his mostly non-verbal condition. He was last spotted leaving his home in the 2100 block of N Natchez Ave.
Standing six feet tall and weighing 160 pounds, Munoz has brown eyes, black hair, and a medium complexion. Although details on what he was wearing at the time of his disappearance are not available, the police emphasized in their alert that he might not be dressed for the current weather conditions. Munoz is able to communicate his last name despite his limited verbal abilities.
Law enforcement officials are urging anyone with information about Munoz's whereabouts to promptly contact the Area 5 detectives. A missing person alert posted on the Chicago Police Department's website provides the detective unit's phone number, (312) 746-6554, for anyone looking to share leads or tips that might aid in their investigation.
The Chicago Police Department has not shared information on the circumstances leading to Munoz's disappearance. However, they are seeking the public's assistance and have circulated details of his physical description and his last known location, hoping someone may come forward with information. The nature of Munoz being mostly non-verbal adds a layer of complexity to the search efforts, given that he may find difficulty in seeking or accepting help from strangers.
