Louisville Metro Police are searching for a 31-year-old man who was reported missing from the 1400 block of Avoca Ridge Drive on Friday, with investigators warning he could be traveling toward Hazard, Kentucky. Tyler Damron was identified as an endangered missing person in an Operation Return Home alert issued by LMPD's Missing Persons Unit.

According to the LMPD

flyer, Damron is a white male standing 5 feet 10 inches tall and weighing 220 pounds, with blue eyes and blonde hair. The flyer notes he was last seen in the 1400 block of Avoca Ridge Drive on November 13. WLKY reported, separately, that Damron was last seen wearing a multicolored T-shirt and jeans, according to

WLKY

.

Vehicle Details Raise a Discrepancy

Police say Damron is believed to be operating a silver or gray Nissan Versa. WDRB, WAVE and WLKY reported the Versa bears Kentucky license plate L1Z999.

The flyer states that Damron may be headed toward Hazard, Kentucky. LMPD has not released further detail on what led investigators to that potential destination.

How to Report Information

The flyer asks anyone with information to call 911 or the LMPD tip line.

This is not the first time Damron has been the subject of a missing-person alert from Louisville authorities. In October, WDRB and WAVE reported that a Golden Alert had been issued for Damron, then described as 30 years old, after he was last seen around 3:15 a.m. near Anchorage — a separate incident from Friday's Operation Return Home case, according to WDRB and WAVE.

LMPD identified Damron as an endangered missing person in its Operation Return Home alert.
