Gustavo Espirito-Rosa was 22 and homeless when he was last seen in downtown Lakewood, New Jersey, on August 5, 2016.

No report to police was made until September 27, 2023, and a formal National Missing and Unidentified Persons System entry was created on December 20, 2023. The long gap between his disappearance and the official reporting has complicated efforts to establish a timeline or develop leads. The Lakewood Police Department is handling the open investigation.

Does anyone who lived in or near downtown Lakewood in August 2016 remember seeing Gustavo or have information that could help clarify his last known movements?
