Donte Lightford, a 41-year-old Black man, last had contact with his family on January 1, 2019, in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. His last known location was in the 19132 zip code. He is described as 5 feet 7 inches tall, 155 to 165 pounds, with black hair and brown eyes. Very few details about his disappearance are available: there is no public information about what he was wearing that day or where he might have been heading.

No missing person report was filed with the Philadelphia Police Department until October 6, 2022. Donte’s information was entered into the National Missing and Unidentified Persons System and the Philadelphia Police Department is the investigating agency. The long delay between his last contact and the report has left investigators and family with limited leads.

If anyone knew Donte, saw him in January 2019 in the 19132 area, or has information about his movements around that time, please contact the Philadelphia Police Department.
