A Silver Alert is active in Alameda County for a person last seen near Fagundes Street and Cypress Avenue in Hayward.

account, which tagged @HaywardPD.
Anyone who spots the person is asked to call 911 immediately, per the alert.
A Pattern of Alerts Out of Hayward
The alert is among recent Silver Alerts tied to Hayward. Just last month, Hoodline reported on a separate alert for a 69-year-old man, Merced Vargas, last seen near Meekland Avenue and Paseo Grande in San Lorenzo, which had been activated by CHP on behalf of the Alameda County Sheriff's Office. That same report noted a Silver Alert for a 52-year-old woman, Tanasha Norbert, had been deactivated after she was located.
Earlier this year, SFGate reported that a 68-year-old man named Gregory Manuel went missing near Rockaway Lane and Russell Way in Hayward, with CHP activating a regional alert covering Alameda, San Mateo, Santa Clara, Contra Costa and San Francisco counties. Authorities believed Manuel, too, was on foot.
Outcomes Have Varied
Not every Hayward case has ended in uncertainty. KRON4 reported that CHP eventually located Sunny Jeon, a 70-year-old woman who had gone missing in Alameda County, after a Silver Alert had been issued on her behalf through the Hayward Police Department. Whether Brown's case will follow a similar resolution is not yet known.
As of now, there is no confirmation on whether Lawrence Brown has been found or whether the alert remains active. A previous Hoodline report on a different Hayward Silver Alert noted that details on whether that alert remained active or had been resolved were not available at the time of publication, underscoring how quickly the status of these cases can change. Anyone with information on Brown's whereabouts is urged to call 911.
