The Oklahoma Highway Patrol has issued a Silver Alert for Wesley Allen, a 78-year-old man last seen in Edmond on July 16. As reported by KOCO, Allen is described as 5 feet 10 inches tall and weighs approximately 180 pounds, last spotted wearing Levi jeans and a white, plaid, long-sleeve shirt.

Allen's disappearance has raised concerns within the community and authorities are asking the public to be on the lookout for a blue 2015 Toyota pickup with a camper shell, bearing the Oklahoma license plate PQE799, per details from News 9—a vehicle he was believed to be driving; the Oklahoma Highway Patrol emphasizes that those who have any information or have encountered Allen are urged to call 911 immediately.

Further emphasizing the seriousness of the situation, KFOR also reports that the Oklahoma Highway Patrol issued the Silver Alert last night after Allen had not been located for several days since his last sighting turning the situation into a matter of increasing urgency for both the community and law enforcement officials.
