Adrian Salas Sanchez, a 31-year-old Hispanic man, was last seen on December 24, 2022, in Los Angeles. He lived with a friend who worked as a mechanic at the time and stopped communicating after that Christmas Eve date, which relatives say was out of character. His family reported him missing to the Los Angeles Police Department on December 31, 2022, and the LAPD Adult Missing Persons Unit opened an active investigation.

Adrian is described as 5 feet 9 inches tall, about 200 pounds, with brown hair and brown eyes. Investigators and family consider it possible he may have been planning travel to Tijuana, Mexico, but whether he ever made such a trip is unknown. Few public details about his movements that day have been released.

If anyone has information about Adrian’s last known whereabouts, travels near the U.S.‑Mexico border, or contacts after December 24, 2022, please come forward to assist the investigation.
