Armando Torres, known by the nicknames Angel, Kast, and Cast, was 32 when he disappeared from Chicago. Family reports his last contact as February 27, 2022, while the Chicago Police Department lists March 2, 2022. On that day a landlord saw him at his residence in McKinley Park before the home was engulfed in flames and then observed him get into the passenger side of his black 2015 Chevrolet Impala at about 6:00 PM. Calls to his phone shortly afterward all went to voicemail.

Torres is described as a Hispanic male, 5 feet 9 inches tall, about 170 pounds, with black hair (short low haircut or bald fade), brown eyes, a short beard, and a large green tattoo of a cross with angel wings on the front of his neck. He was known to frequent the 2000 block of West 35th Street in Chicago and the 7200 block of West 24th Street in Gary, Indiana. His Chevrolet Impala was later recovered by the Chicago Police at 624 West 21st Street in Chicago.

Area One Detectives Special Victims Unit is handling the investigation. Many questions remain about the fire, the sighting of him entering the vehicle, and what happened after calls to his phone stopped. If anyone knew Armando, his movements that evening, or has information that could help locate him, please come forward.
