Marvin Sowell was last in contact with family on March 21, 2023. He is a 55-year-old Black / African American man, described at 5 feet 8 inches to 5 feet 9 inches and 200 to 205 pounds, with black hair and brown eyes. No details are given about what he was wearing or whether he had personal belongings when last heard from.

On May 17, 2026, family members checked Marvin’s last known residence in Houston’s 77021 zip code and found he no longer lived there. That discovery, combined with the extended period of no contact, prompted his family to report him missing and the Houston Police Department opened an investigation. The circumstances of his disappearance are described as vague; there is no account of a last sighting, movements after March 21, or known reason for his absence.

If anyone in the Houston area knew Marvin, saw him after March 21, 2023, or has information about his last residence in the 77021 area, please share what you know with the Houston Police Department.
