The Detroit Police Department is actively seeking the public's assistance in their search for Joshua Wells, a 32-year-old man reported missing since Friday. Wells was last seen leaving his home on the 7600 block of Patton, and notably, he was wearing a black hooded sweatshirt, black pants, and black sandals at the time of his disappearance, according to the Detroit Police Department's Missing.

The police have requested that anyone with information to come forward and to potentially aid in bringing Wells back to his family. The specifics of his appearance have been widely disseminated: his height is listed at 5′10″, he weighs approximately 170 lbs., and has brown eyes and black hair, as reported by the Detroit Police Department's Missing.
A Facebook post from the Detroit Police Department's Missing page echoes the call for the community's help.
