Yesterday, the San Antonio Police Department initiated a SILVER Alert for 65-year-old Eloy Pena Jr. Pena was last observed in the area of West Cypress Street near San Pedro Avenue at approximately 11:30 a.m. He is described as 5 feet 11 inches in height, weighing 180 pounds with brown eyes and gray hair; at the time he was last seen, Pena was wearing a gray and blue short-sleeve shirt with khaki pants, as reported by FOX San Antonio.

In an unrelated but equally important case, the search for another missing San Antonio resident, 65-year-old Alfred Garcia, concluded successfully. Garcia, who had been missing since May 24, was found safe and has since been reunited with his family, Bexar County officials reported. He was last seen on the 2600 block of Presa Street around 4:14 p.m. but located just before noon on an unspecified date; officials provided no further details on the circumstances surrounding his disappearance or how he was eventually found, according to KENS 5.

The community is urged to keep an eye out for Eloy Pena Jr. and to report any sightings to the San Antonio Police at (210) 207-7660. These alerts underscore the community's role in aiding vulnerable populations, particularly those who may suffer from conditions affecting their memory and capacity to return safely to their homes.
