Jose Lui Rivera-Hurtado, a 38-year-old Hispanic man also known by the nickname "Hov," was last seen in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, on March 28, 2025. At the time he went missing, he stood between 5 feet 7 inches and 5 feet 8 inches tall and weighed approximately 180 to 185 pounds. He has short brown hair and brown eyes. Distinctive features that could aid in his identification include a tattoo of the name "Jose" on the left side of his neck and a tattoo of a cross on his left upper arm. On the day he disappeared, he was reportedly wearing a black jacket, grey sweatpants, a black hat, and white New Balance sneakers. The circumstances of Jose's disappearance are particularly distressing for his family, with whom he normally maintained daily contact. His sudden and complete silence was entirely out of character, sparking immediate concern among his loved ones. The absence of any communication since he was last seen has left his family in a state of profound worry and uncertainty. The abrupt halt in his regular interactions with family members is a key and alarming detail in his case, suggesting that his disappearance may have been involuntary or the result of unforeseen circumstances. The Philadelphia Police Department is the lead agency in the investigation into Jose Lui Rivera-Hurtado's disappearance. The case was officially reported on April 2, 2025, and assigned the case number 2025-02-015074. In an effort to assist with the identification process should the need arise, a DNA sample was collected from his sister and is being stored at the City of Philadelphia Forensic Lab. The overview of this case is one of a sudden and unexplained disappearance of a man who was a consistent presence in his family's life. The lack of contact and the mystery surrounding his last known whereabouts have left a painful void for his family and a challenging case for law enforcement.
