The collective efforts of the Dallas community breathed a sigh of relief as Lewis James Booth, the 71-year-old Black man reported missing earlier this week, has been safely located. The Dallas Police Department confirmed this development, providing limited but reassuring information that Mr. Booth is no longer considered to be in danger or in need of assistance. The circumstances of his discovery have not been disclosed.
In a previous appeal, authorities described Mr. Booth as a Black male with brown eyes and a distinctive gray goatee, featuring gray hair to match. Standing at 5'6" and weighing roughly 160 pounds, he was last seen wearing attire that would blend into the urban backdrop, a light gray t-shirt, paired with black jeans and shoes. His last known whereabouts had been the 9000 block of S. Polk Street, heading northbound.
Anyone who may have seen Mr. Booth or has knowledge about his brief disappearance, while no longer an urgent matter, can still provide information to the Dallas Police Department. With such cases bearing a weight on the hearts of family and friends, the resolution brings solace beyond measure. The department’s contact lines at 911 or (214) 671-4268 remain open for those who wish to share pertinent details.
