Barkad Ilyas Hassan, 30, was last seen on October 1, 2014, in Chesapeake, Virginia. He was observed in front of a Dollar Tree on the 1500 block of Sam’s Circle. At the time he disappeared he was described as a Black male with black hair and brown eyes, 5 feet 10 inches tall and about 160 pounds.

He was not alone when last seen; another man, Hamza Okie, was with him. Both men have not been heard from since that evening, and few details have emerged about what happened after they were seen outside the store. The lack of concrete leads has left family and the community without answers.

If anyone saw Barkad or Hamza on October 1, 2014, or has information about their whereabouts, please come forward to help bring clarity to the families.
