John George Hura Jr., 36, was last seen in Youngstown, Ohio, on January 27, 2020. He was known to shelter beneath the Mahoning Avenue Bridge and is described as about 5 feet 6 inches tall, 150 pounds, with brown hair and brown eyes. Distinctive tattoos included a design on the left side of his neck, a blue star on the webbing of his left hand, and flames on both forearms extending toward his shoulders.

Around the time he vanished there was a reported physical altercation between John and another homeless man; witnesses said both may have fallen into the Mahoning River. The other man’s body was recovered in July 2020 and his death was ruled drowning. No trace of John has been found and the Youngstown Police Department is investigating, but there are no confirmed answers linking the fight to John’s disappearance.

Does anyone who knew John or who was in the bridge area that week have information that could help clarify what happened?
