Lovett Moore, the legally blind and disabled Natomas man who vanished from an Arena Boulevard gas station more than a year ago, has been found dead, the Sacramento County Coroner's Office confirmed. Moore was 33 years old when he disappeared, and his family and neighbors spent more than a year searching for him and pleading publicly for answers.
The coroner's office said Moore died after being missing for more than a year, according to FOX40. Officials said the cause and manner of his death are still pending, and the coroner's office released no other information about how or where he died. FOX40's report was credited to Natalie Sierra.
Moore was last seen on June 28, 2025, at a gas station in the 3200 block of Arena Boulevard, according to the Sacramento Police Department. Security camera images placed him at the Aisle 1 fuel station at around 12:30 a.m. that night, per The Sacramento Bee. He was last seen wearing a long-sleeve green shirt and black shorts.
Surveillance Footage Showed Moore Walking Toward a Car
The Sacramento Bee reported that advocate Lena Schenk said three people walked Moore from the store to a nearby vehicle. Moore lived with his mother in an apartment directly across the street from the fuel station where he was last seen, the newspaper reported.
Police previously said missing persons detectives were pursuing leads and working with local and regional agencies to locate Moore, the Bee's reporting noted. No arrests or suspects have been identified in connection with his disappearance, and the circumstances of what happened after he left the store that night have not been made public.
Community Searches Drew Dozens of Volunteers
In the weeks after Moore vanished, his disappearance galvanized his Natomas neighborhood. More than 50 searchers had assembled by 2 p.m. during one community search effort, the Bee reported. Moore's family, joined by community advocate Lena Schenk, returned to the area on July 5, 2025, to demand more urgency from law enforcement in the search for him.
Nearly a year after he went missing, Moore's family gathered again at the gas station where he was last seen, this time to pray and ask the community for continued help finding him, according to KCRA. That vigil, held around the one-year mark of his disappearance, underscored how long the family had waited without answers before the coroner's office confirmed his death.
The coroner's confirmation closes a painful chapter of uncertainty for Moore's family and the Natomas community members who spent more than a year searching for him, but key questions remain unresolved. The cause and manner of his death are still pending, and no further details about where or how he died have been released.
