Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP35128) and 5 other sources
Carlos Hernandez, a 32-year-old man from Houston, Texas, was last seen on July 25, 2016. On that day, he was dropped off by his spouse at a tattoo shop in northeast Houston, where he occasionally worked. This marked the last confirmed sighting of him, and his whereabouts have remained unknown since. Hernandez, who is described as 5'8" tall, weighing approximately 240 pounds with black hair, was reported missing when he failed to return home or make contact with his family.

Despite efforts from local authorities and his loved ones, little information has surfaced to help locate him. His case has remained active, though it has garnered limited attention compared to other missing person cases. Investigators have been working with the limited evidence available, but no significant breakthroughs have been reported. As time passes, the search continues, with officials and family members hoping for new leads that might explain what happened to Carlos on that day in 2016. The public is encouraged to share any potential information that could aid in the investigation.
