Angel Ray Vela, 27, of Rockport, Texas, disappeared under suspicious circumstances on November 17, 2017. He is described as having several distinctive tattoos, including one on his neck and the word Mom on the side of his head.

About three weeks after he was last seen, Angel’s vehicle was found abandoned in a public parking lot. Rumors in the community suggested he may have been the victim of an assault, but no substantial leads on his whereabouts have surfaced. Texas EquuSearch and family members have remained active in searches and efforts to keep the case in the public eye.

If anyone in Rockport or the surrounding area remembers seeing Angel, his vehicle, or anything unusual around mid to late November 2017, please come forward with information.
