Kent Reid, 65, went for a morning walk in Mint Hill, North Carolina, on June 30, 2023, and did not return. He is a Black male about 5 feet 11 inches tall, approximately 250 pounds, with salt and pepper hair. At the time he was last seen he was wearing a blue Nike t-shirt and dark-colored shorts and was walking away from an area on Central in Mint Hill.

Authorities and family raised immediate concern because Reid may have dementia or Alzheimer’s, prompting a Silver Alert and a coordinated search led by the Mint Hill Police Department. No photograph was available in the initial public notice; the community was urged to be vigilant and to report any potential sightings to police.

The case centers on a routine walk that ended with him missing and on the particular vulnerability of someone with cognitive impairment. Does anyone in Mint Hill or the surrounding area remember seeing a man matching Kent Reid’s description on June 30, 2023?
