Dallas Police are asking for the public's help finding a 72-year-old man who disappeared from a southeast Dallas neighborhood on Tuesday afternoon and has not been seen since. Angel Cervantes was last spotted around 1 p.m. in the 6600 block of Wofford Road, according to police, who say he may be lost and in need of assistance.
According to DPD Beat, the department's public safety bulletin, Cervantes is described as 5 feet 7 inches tall and about 140 pounds, with gray hair and brown eyes. He was last seen wearing a brown shirt, blue plaid pants, and brown shoes. As WFAA reported, Dallas police appealed to anyone with information on Cervantes's whereabouts to come forward.
Conflicting Details on Location and Clothing
Conflicting Details on Location and Clothing Not every account of Tuesday's disappearance lines up exactly. While DPD Beat lists the location as the 6600 block of Wofford Road, The Katy News identifies it as the 6600 block of Wofford Avenue, and frames the case as a Silver Alert. The two outlets also differ slightly on his clothing: DPD Beat's bulletin describes blue plaid pants, while The Katy News describes them as blue plaid pajama pants.
Despite the discrepancies, the core details of the case remain consistent across sources. Cervantes was last seen at approximately 1 p.m. Tuesday, and police believe he may simply be lost rather than facing any known danger. The case has been logged under number 165911-2026, and anyone with information is urged to contact the Dallas Police Department by calling 9-1-1 or 214-671-4268.
Earlier Report Involving the Same Name
This is not the first time a bulletin bearing the name Angel Cervantes has circulated through Dallas police channels this year. Back in February, a 71-year-old Angel Cervantes was reported missing after last being seen around 11 a.m. on February 14 in the 6600 block of Wofford Drive, according to My Texas Daily. That case was closed out quickly, with a DPD Beat update on the February notice stating that the man had been located and was safe, under case number 021462-2026. It is not established whether that earlier report is connected to the man currently being sought.
For now, the focus remains on finding this week's missing man. Dallas Police have not released additional details beyond the description, last known location, and clothing, and are relying on tips from the public to help bring Cervantes home safely.
