SEATTLE, Wash. — The Seattle Police Department is asking for the public’s help in locating a 28-year-old man who has been missing for more than a week after disappearing from his job in Seattle’s Lake City neighborhood.
“One week with no answers. One week with no contact. One week of desperately hoping for any lead that will bring him home,” McKinney’s sister, Jasmine McKinney, wrote in a public appeal shared Tuesday.
The Seattle Police Department received a missing person report for DiAngelo L. McKinney on July 9. Investigators said his mother contacted police after he failed to return home or contact family members.
Detectives say McKinney last reported to work on July 6 in Seattle’s Lake City neighborhood. Since then, neither his family nor investigators have determined where he may be.
Family Expands Community Search
As the search enters its second week, McKinney’s family continues organizing community efforts throughout North Seattle.
On Tuesday, relatives returned to the police station before spending the day posting missing person flyers throughout the Lake City, Green Lake and Northgate neighborhoods.
“We’re expanding our search because we’re not giving up,” she wrote.
Family members also asked community members to help distribute flyers, share McKinney’s information on social media and remain alert for possible sightings.
“If anyone is willing to help hand out flyers, share his photo or keep an eye out while you’re in the community, we would be incredibly grateful,” Jasmine McKinney said. “The more people looking, the better the chance that someone recognizes him or remembers seeing something.”
Description
According to the missing person flyer, DiAngelo McKinney is:
- Age: 28
- Height: 6 feet
- Weight: 150 pounds
- Hair: Dark brown
Police say McKinney disappeared after July 6 in Seattle’s Lake City neighborhood.
How to Help
Anyone with information about McKinney’s whereabouts can call or text 360-632-2096 or contact 911 if they believe they have seen him.
His family also encourages anyone who can help by sharing his flyer or distributing information throughout the Seattle area.
“We’re not giving up,” Jasmine McKinney wrote. “Please continue sharing his flyer and keeping DiAngelo in your thoughts. Every share, every conversation, and every set of eyes matters. Let’s bring my brother home.”
