Lorenzo Ruiz, known as Larry, was last seen January 1, 2017, in Cicero, Illinois. He was 49 at the time and described as intermittently homeless by choice. Ruiz is Hispanic and White/Caucasian, 5 feet 9 inches, about 180 pounds, with black crew-cut hair, brown eyes, a mustache and small goatee, and a tattoo on his right shoulder of a skull wearing a top hat.

When last seen he was reported wearing a black coat, blue jeans, and white jewelry. The Berwyn Police Department is handling the case; it was entered into NamUs on February 13, 2017 (MP37118). The exact timeline and last activities before his disappearance are unclear, which investigators cite as a key challenge.

If anyone knew Lorenzo’s habits, places he frequented in Cicero’s 60804 area, or saw him around New Year’s 2017, please share what you know.
