Leonel Garcia Diaz Leal, 47, was last known to have contact on May 1, 2024, in Santa Ana, California. NamUs lists him as 5 feet 7 inches, about 150 pounds, with black hair and brown eyes; further distinguishing details and clothing are not provided. He is described as a transient who frequented Santa Ana.

Although his formal missing date is in May 2024, a family friend reported seeing Leonel in November 2024 near the Bristol Swap Meet at McFadden Avenue and Bristol Street. The case is handled by the Santa Ana Police Department; NamUs lists the case as MP149280 and gives the agency case number 2025-09096 with the incident reported on May 7, 2025.

Does anyone who spent time around the Bristol Swap Meet or the downtown Santa Ana area between May and November 2024 remember seeing Leonel or have information that could help locate him?
