Julio Lara, a 33-year-old Hispanic man, was last seen in East Palo Alto, California on November 1, 2017. He is described as 5 feet 8 inches tall, about 200 pounds, with brown hair and brown eyes. He has multiple tattoos, including the name Jennifer on his left arm.

Few details have been released about the circumstances of his disappearance. After he went missing, law enforcement sought him for questioning in a separate criminal matter: Lara is a person of interest in the disappearance of Victor Trejo in Bakersfield, California in October 2017. Investigators believe he may have fled to Mexico, where his whereabouts are unknown. There is also an active arrest warrant charging him with kidnapping to commit robbery/rape, assault with a firearm, and robbery. The East Palo Alto Police Department is handling his missing person case.

If anyone knew Julio, saw him around East Palo Alto in late 2017, or has information about his possible travel to Mexico, please share what is known.
