Carlos Gerardo Cardenas, a 42-year-old Hispanic man, was last seen in Lancaster, California, on February 20, 2019. He is described as 5 feet 9 inches tall, about 200 pounds, with brown hair and hazel eyes. He has a tattoo reading Maria Luisa on the left side of his chest and may have had a shaved head and a goatee when he disappeared. He was last seen wearing a shirt and blue and white shorts and is known to suffer from depression.

More than a week after he was last seen, on March 3, 2019, Cardenas’s vehicle was found abandoned in Acton, California. Since then he has not been heard from and few details have been released as the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department Missing Persons Unit continues to investigate. Loved ones have expressed deep concern for his well-being.
