Mendes Joseph was 25 when he was last seen on May 26, 2002, at his apartment in Montréal-Nord, Montreal. He is described as slender, dark complexion, black braided hair, black eyes, five feet nine inches tall and about 139 pounds. At the time he had a right ear piercing and was last seen wearing large blue denim pants and black and white running shoes.

Police records note that Mendes was a drug user and may have had ties to street gangs, though there is no definitive evidence linking those factors to his disappearance. The Service de police de la Ville de Montréal continues to list him as missing and the case remains unsolved, with few concrete leads reported.

Does anyone in Montréal-Nord or who knew Mendes or his routines around May 2002 have information that could help locate him?
