Akil Joseph was 25 when he was last contacted on January 11, 2011, in Christiansted, St. Croix, U.S. Virgin Islands. He is described as a Black man, 70 inches tall and 165 pounds, with long black dreadlocks, brown eyes, a beard, mustache and goatee, and distinctive tattoos on his left arm, right arm and left hand. The U.S. Virgin Islands Police Department is handling the case under agency number 11A11071; the case also appears in NamUs as MP152713.

A November 9, 2011 news item described a 26-year-old Akil Joseph missing from Mount Pleasant East, last seen November 1, 2011, wearing a white t-shirt, black pants and a stocking cap, and listed at 5 feet 8 inches and 180 pounds. That report differs from the January 11, 2011 contact date and from the physical details, and it is not clear if the two reports refer to the same person. No further circumstances of the January 11 contact are provided.

If anyone knew Akil Joseph, lived in St. Croix at the time, or has information that could clarify these discrepancies or his whereabouts, please share what is known.
