The Quincy Police Department is seeking the public's assistance in locating a missing 69-year-old man, Francis Yu, who was last seen in his usual haunts around Quincy Center and various MBTA stations. A statement released early today highlighted concerns for his well-being, as he is reported to be mentally delayed and without his necessary medication.

According to the authorities, Yu is described as being 5'6" in height and weighing 147 pounds. His last known outfit included a blue shirt, green pants, and white sneakers. There is a growing urgency to ensure that he is found and evaluated due to his health condition causing an inherent vulnerability in the bustling transit spaces where he frequents.

The search for Yu is being coordinated by Det. Lencki, who can be contacted at (617)745-5752, and a photograph of Yu has been circulated in the hopes that members of the community might recognize him and provide leads. The Quincy Police has also distributed this information through their social channels, including a post on Facebook, where citizens are encouraged to share the post and contribute to the search effort. Detective Lencki stressed the importance of the public’s vigilance, reminding that when found he should be evaluated immediately.
