Charels Keyston Hodge, 29, was last heard from on February 19, 2026, when he called his uncle to say he was in Las Vegas, Nevada. Known as Ria, Charels is a Black man about 5 feet 8 inches tall and 150 pounds with black hair; his left eye is missing and his right eye is brown. That phone call was the family’s final contact.

Charels’ family reported him missing to the Big Sandy Police Department on April 24, 2026, after weeks of no contact. The report opened an investigation that has crossed state lines: on June 11, 2026, investigators received a tip that someone matching his description might be on Skid Row in Los Angeles, California. The current record shows no confirmed location since the February call and the investigation remains active.

If anyone saw Charels in Las Vegas after February 19 or in the Skid Row area of Los Angeles, can you share what you remember with investigators?
