Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP54314)
Josue Ramirez-Ramos, a 15-year-old boy, was last seen on January 9, 2018, in Wilmington, California. Originally from Guatemala, Josue had been placed in foster care in Orange County before moving in with a relative. On the day of his disappearance, Josue appeared to have received a phone call after dinner. Following the call, he gathered his immigration documents and left the home without informing anyone of his plans. His relative searched the surrounding area but could not locate him.

At the time of his disappearance, Josue was wearing a black hooded sweatshirt, gray pants, gray shoes, and carrying a black-and-white Adidas backpack. Despite efforts to find him, there have been no updates on his case, and he remains missing. Authorities continue to seek information, and his case is still listed as unsolved.
