Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP119407) and 1 other source
Marcos Raul Medina Jr., a 33-year-old man, was last seen in Santa Cruz, California, on January 10, 2024. His disappearance has raised concerns, as there has been little information regarding his whereabouts since that day. Medina’s case has been listed on several missing person databases, and local law enforcement agencies have been working on gathering any leads related to his disappearance.

Before being reported missing, Medina had a history of legal issues in Santa Cruz County. Records indicate multiple arrests over the years, including charges related to controlled substances and public intoxication, as well as more severe offenses such as battery and threats of violence. Despite his past, Medina's disappearance has left his family and friends worried for his safety, and they are hoping for any information that could help locate him.

Given the complexity of his personal history and the fact that he had been recently involved in legal matters prior to going missing, authorities are continuing their search efforts. They are urging anyone with information to come forward to assist in resolving his case. As of now, the details surrounding his last known movements remain unclear, leaving open many questions about what may have happened to Medina in the days following his last sighting.
