Union City Police Enlist Public Help to Locate Missing Man Diagnosed with SchizophreniaSource: Union City Police Department

The Union City Police Department has issued a call to the public seeking assistance in locating Kehinde Yusuf, a 41-year-old man last observed at a MARTA bus stop early Tuesday morning, as reported by FOX5 Atlanta. Yusuf, who has been diagnosed with schizophrenia, has not been seen since April 23 and was reported missing by his mother after failing to return home.

Yusuf, described as a 5-foot-7-inch tall Black man weighing approximately 172 pounds with brown eyes and black hair, was last noted wearing a yellow jacket and a gray mechanic's jumpsuit at the bus stop located at 6354 Shannon Parkway, his mother providing this information to FOX5 Atlanta. Union City Police have commenced an extensive search operation with the hope to secure his safety and return, knowing that those with mental health conditions like schizophrenia are especially vulnerable when lost.

In a similarly urgent appeal, Atlanta News First reported the call from authorities, emphasizing the need for community vigilance, anyone who might spot Yusuf is encouraged to immediately contact 911 or the Union City Police Department at 770-964-1333, the police stressing the importance of haste in these matters.
