Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP21199) and 6 other sources
Michael Benavides, a 22-year-old man, was last seen on January 6, 1995, in San Antonio, Texas. On the day of his disappearance, Benavides was spotted at the Shamrock Station on Somerset Road. Witnesses reported that he entered a white Chevrolet S-10 pickup truck, and he has not been heard from since. At the time of his disappearance, he was wearing a white t-shirt with an image of a camel on the back, jean shorts, a baseball cap, and sneakers.

Benavides is described as a Hispanic male, standing 5'7" tall and weighing approximately 160 pounds, with brown hair and brown eyes. He also has distinguishing features, including a scar on his left forearm and tattoos: one on his left wrist and the initials "MB" on his right shoulder. Despite investigative efforts by the San Antonio Police Department, his case remains unsolved, and he continues to be listed as missing.

Authorities are still seeking information regarding his whereabouts, and any potential leads are encouraged to be reported to the San Antonio Police Department's Missing Person's Office.
