Djakaridia Traore, known as Isaac to friends, went missing from Charlotte, North Carolina after walking away from a supportive housing community on Clanton Road at about 5:40 p.m. on November 25, 2023. He was later seen at a nearby store that evening and has not been heard from since. Traore is a 55-year-old Black male, 6 feet 0 inches tall, about 170 pounds, with graying black hair, brown eyes, and a slight shuffle. He was wearing a white hooded sweatshirt with AERO NYC 1987 on the front, a blue striped shirt underneath, and jeans when he disappeared.

His disappearance is particularly worrying because he has serious health problems, including dementia and seizures, and needs medication twice daily. He lived in a converted hotel managed by the nonprofit Roof Above and rarely left the premises, so his walking away was considered unusual. Investigators have checked hospitals and locations he frequented when homeless and say he may be living within a homeless community, but there has been no contact.

If anyone knew Isaac, saw him after November 25, 2023, or has information about his whereabouts, please contact the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department.
