The Detroit Police Department is actively seeking information to locate a 24-year-old man, Michael Ellis, who went missing in Detroit after last being seen on Friday.
According to details provided by ClickOnDetroit, Ellis did not return home in the 8200 block of Asbury Park after he had visited a facility on August 16. Described as 5′6″ in height and weighing 135 pounds with brown hair and brown eyes, he was last seen wearing a blue and white tie-dye long sleeve shirt, dark jeans, and red, black, and white shoes. Worryingly, dressed in a long sleeve shirt and jeans, the weather was particularly warm that day.
Further information regarding Ellis’s condition was provided by his mother, who communicated that her son has Asperger syndrome, a condition on the autism spectrum that involves difficulty in social interactions.
Ellis's disappearance has prompted a call for community assistance from the Detroit Police Department. In addition to sharing his description, the department, mentioned on the dedicated Detroit Police Department's Missing Facebook page, urges anyone with information to step forward. Merely asking for assistance, the authorities have yet to disclose if they suspect any foul play.
Those with information on the whereabouts of Michael Ellis are urged to contact the Detroit Police Department’s 9th Precinct by calling 313-596-5900. Alternatively, people can reach out anonymously by contacting Crime Stoppers at 1-800-Speak Up. The Detroit Police Department has also made it possible to report information by calling the 6th Precinct directly at (313) 596-5640, or by contacting emergency services via 911.
