Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP7731) and 3 other sources
Geronimo Rodriguez Martinez, a 76-year-old man, was last seen on July 18, 1996, in San Antonio, Texas. On that day, he reportedly left his home to go to a grocery store and never returned. His disappearance has remained a mystery for over two decades, and no significant leads have emerged since then.

Geronimo was described as having gray or white hair, brown eyes, and wearing black-framed eyeglasses. He had a distinctive appearance, with two fingers on his left hand partially severed due to an accident, a large scar on the right side of his chin, and a tattoo on his right shoulder. Despite his age, Geronimo's case remains unresolved, and he has never been heard from again after that fateful day.

Authorities have continued to seek information regarding his case, and the San Antonio Police Department is the investigating agency. However, few details are available, leaving his disappearance an enduring mystery.
