The Chicago Police Department is reaching out to the public for assistance in locating 31-year-old Alfonso Flores, who was reported missing after last being seen leaving his home on February 22nd, 2024, at approximately 12:30 p.m. Information released by the CPD describes Flores as a male with a light complexion, standing 5 feet 7 inches tall, weighing around 170 pounds, with brown eyes and black hair. A distinctive tattoo on his right forearm is noted as a notable mark that could help identify him.

In their appeal for public aid, officials noted that Flores was last seen wearing a dark gray jacket paired with blue jeans and dark gray shoes. Missing from the vicinity of his residence, the absence of any contact with his family members, which the police underscore as being unusual for Flores, underscores the growing concerns for his welfare. The authorities have encouraged anyone with information about Flores to immediately contact the Area Five Detective Unit.

As the hours roll into days since the last known contact with Flores, the community's worry intensifies. Local advocates and community members have taken to social media to spread awareness about his disappearance, sharing his photos and the CPD's call for information. 

While the initial alert did not specify the circumstances surrounding Flores's departure nor any potential destinations, the Chicago Police have not ceased in their efforts to locate him. The case remains open and active, with the authorities urging any potential witnesses or individuals who may have seen Alfonso in the days since his disappearance to come forward. 

The Chicago Police Department's official statement provided contact information for further assistance. Anyone with details is asked to call the Area Five Detective at (312) 746-6554.
