The Dallas Police Department is urgently seeking assistance from the public to locate a critical missing person, 74-year-old Michael Farris, who was last seen on September 9, 2024. According to the Dallas Police Department, Farris is described as a balding, grey-haired African American male with brown eyes, approximately 5'10" in height, and weighing around 160 lbs.
He was reportedly last spotted gently walking in the 2900 block of W. Wheatland Road around 2:20 p.m. Farris was clothed in a gold shirt, black joggers, and a black cap with a red brim at that time. The Dallas Police have classified him as critical due in part to his age, emphasizing the need for a swift response from community members who might have seen him or have information.
The call for public aid underscores a broader societal responsibility to safeguard our most vulnerable citizens, particularly elders who may become easily disoriented or may have medical conditions requiring prompt care. "Persons with information are asked to call the police department at 911 or (214) 671-4268", as iterated by the Dallas Police Department. In addition, people are urged to reference case number 138616-2024 when providing information that may assist in the location of Mr. Farris.
