Louis Lopez, 45, was last seen in Kenner, Louisiana, on August 27, 2005, in the 500 block of East Louisiana State Drive during the chaotic lead-up to Hurricane Katrina. He is described as a White/Hispanic male, 5 feet 9 inches, about 160 pounds, with black hair and brown eyes. No information about his clothing or exact movements that day has been publicly shared.

Because his disappearance occurred amid mass evacuations and communication failures, the case was not reported to the Kenner Police Department until July 23, 2011. It was added to the NamUs database on October 6, 2020. The Kenner Police Department is listed as the primary investigative agency, with the LSU FACES Laboratory also noted as involved.

Many details remain unknown about Louis Lopez’s last day and how he became separated from family or community during the storm. If anyone saw Louis in Kenner around August 27, 2005, or has information about his whereabouts, please come forward.
