He was wearing a black t-shirt, black shorts, and black and white sneakers. Gonzalez had medical concerns, including diabetes, which required medication, adding to the urgency of locating him.

Known by the nickname "Peanut," Gonzalez also had some distinctive physical features, including a large bump on the arch of his right foot and balding brown hair.
