Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP152713) and 2 other sources
Akil Joseph was 25 years old when he was last contacted on January 11, 2011, in Christiansted, St. Croix, U.S. Virgin Islands. At the time of his disappearance, he was described as a Black / African American male, standing at 70 inches tall and weighing 165 pounds. Joseph has black hair styled in long dreadlocks, brown eyes, and a beard, mustache, and goatee. He has distinctive tattoos on his left arm, right arm, and left hand. The U.S. Virgin Islands Police Department is the investigating agency in his case, with the agency case number 11A11071 assigned to his disappearance.

The circumstances surrounding his disappearance are noted as "Last contacted on 01/11/2011." No details regarding the clothing and accessories he was wearing at the time of his disappearance or any mode of transportation he may have been using are publicly available. His case is listed in the National Missing and Unidentified Persons System under case number MP152713. As of the latest information, his current age would be 40.

It is important to note that a news article from November 9, 2011, reported on the disappearance of a 26-year-old Akil Joseph on St. Croix who had been missing for about a week. This individual was last seen at his residence at Mount Pleasant East on November 1, 2011, wearing a white t-shirt, black pants, and a stocking cap over his locks. That report described him as being 5 feet 8 inches tall, weighing 180 pounds, with a dark complexion, and black hair in locks past his shoulders, along with a full beard and moustache. The authorities were seeking information from the community regarding his whereabouts. It is unclear if this is the same individual, given the discrepancies in the date of disappearance, age, and physical description.
