Police in Washington, D.C. are asking for the public's help finding Carlos Wilkinson, who was last seen around 2 p.m. on Tuesday, Nov. 10, in the 1900 block of H Street NE. He has not been located since, and authorities issued a critical missing-person alert the following day urging anyone with information to come forward.
The Metropolitan Police Department issued the critical missing-person alert on Wednesday, Nov. 11, according to Daily Voice. Wilkinson is described as 5-foot-9 and weighing approximately 185 pounds, with black hair and brown eyes, per the same report. He was last seen wearing a dark-blue Under Armour shirt and khaki Under Armour pants.
What Police Have — and Haven't — Said
Beyond the last-seen location and time, investigators have been tight-lipped about the circumstances surrounding Wilkinson's disappearance. The outlet's report notes that police have not released additional details about what led up to him going missing, leaving the case open as to what happened in the hours before or after he was last spotted near H Street NE.
That silence has left residents in the area with more questions than answers for now, and the case remains active as investigators continue trying to piece together his movements.
How to Help
Anyone with information about Wilkinson's whereabouts is asked to contact the Metropolitan Police Department's Youth and Family Engagement Division at (202) 576-6768 or the Real Time Crime Center at (202) 727-9099. Tips can also be submitted anonymously by texting 50411, the same outlet's report states.
For broader context, the Metropolitan Police Department notes on its missing persons page that it closes more than 99 percent of such cases, with the majority resolved in a short amount of time — though that statistic reflects overall department trends and does not speak to the specifics of Wilkinson's case. This remains a developing story, and Hoodline will update as more verified information becomes available.
