Dwight Powell, 65, was last seen January 31, 2024, in the 2500 block of South Michigan Avenue on Chicago’s South Side. He was wearing black jeans and a brown coat when last seen and is described as 5 feet 11 inches, with brown eyes and white hair. The Chicago Police Department’s Area One Special Victims Unit opened a search and asked the public for help locating him.

Concern grew as weeks passed with no new information; by early March 2024 the search was still active. Powell was last seen at his residence, but no details about his activities or state of mind that day have been released. The circumstances of his disappearance remain unclear and his community has many unanswered questions.
