Robey Baptiste, a 22-year-old Indigenous man, was last seen on the morning of January 26, 2023, at about 11:00 a.m. in the Balwin area of northeast Edmonton. He was observed walking east on 129 Avenue near 66 Street carrying a black backpack believed to hold some personal belongings. Robey is described as 5 feet 9 inches, 141 pounds, with black hair and brown eyes. He wore blue-framed glasses, a black hat, a blue winter jacket over two sweaters, light blue jeans with cut bottoms, and black running shoes.

His family reported him missing on February 1, 2023, after not hearing from him, which they say was out of character. The Edmonton Police Service launched an investigation and on February 15, 2023 issued a public appeal. Police noted Robey was familiar with the city’s transit system, including the LRT and buses, and frequented local libraries; investigators canvassed the neighborhood and requested residents check home security footage from that morning. No confirmed sightings have been reported since January 26 and the investigation remains active.

If anyone saw Robey on January 26, 2023, or has information about his whereabouts, please come forward to Edmonton Police Service.
