Joshua Cortes Gordillo was last seen January 19, 2019, in Oxnard, California. He was eight years old at the time and described as having brown hair and brown eyes. Authorities believe Joshua is with his younger brother, Jesus Cortes, and their mother, Karina Gordillo-Manuel, and the circumstances suggest the children are being concealed by their mother.

The Oxnard Police Department is investigating and is working with the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children, which holds case number 1348264 for Joshua; Jesus has a separate associated missing child case. Age-progressed photos have been prepared to show how the children may look now.

If anyone has information about Joshua or his brother’s whereabouts, contact the Oxnard Police Department at 385-7740 or the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children.
