Ishmel Evans, 58, went missing from Tulsa, Oklahoma after being discharged from Grand Mental Health on May 12, 2025. He had been taken to the facility by police on May 11 after becoming combative while drinking, and his guardian was not notified of the discharge. Evans has Wernicke-Korsakoff syndrome, a progressive condition that causes confusion and memory problems, which the family says makes him especially vulnerable.

He is described as a Black male with salt and pepper hair and hazel eyes, about 5 feet 9 inches and 180 pounds. His family reported him missing to the Tulsa Police Department and investigators say the failure to notify his guardian is a critical factor in the disappearance. No confirmed whereabouts are known and the search remains active.

If anyone in Tulsa saw Ishmel after May 12, or has information about where he might be, please contact the Tulsa Police Department.
