Authorities asked the public Friday for help finding a missing Vista man who may appear disoriented due to medical conditions.
The last known sighting of Daniel Garcia-Mendez, 52, was when he left his home in the 600 block of West California Avenue around 8 p.m. Wednesday, according to sheriff’s officials.
Garcia-Mendez has difficulty speaking clearly and partial loss of movement in his left arm, Detective Michelle Storms said.
Garcia-Mendez is a 5-foot-5-inch, roughly 170-pound Latino with black shoulder-length hair and a mustache. He may be wearing a yellow jacket and often carries a blue fabric handbag, Storms said.
Anyone who might be able to help locate Garcia-Mendez is asked to call the San Diego County Sheriff’s Department at 858-565-5200.
