The Los Angeles Police Department is reaching out to the public for assistance in locating Ronnie Lawson, a 73-year-old man who has gone missing and is in urgent need of medical treatment. Lawson was last seen on May 5, having left a church in South Los Angeles and has not been spotted since, instigating concerns for his well-being, as reported by the LAPD.
Described as a Black male, around 5 foot 7 inches in height, and a weight of approximately 130 pounds, Lawson's physical attributes might have been easily noticed by passersby due to his lack of teeth.
