The Miami Police Department’s Special Victims Unit issued the bulletin, flyer number 26-000, on Saturday and approved by Sgt. Cotilla, describing Mosqueda as a white male standing 6 feet 3 inches tall and weighing 170 pounds, with black hair and black eyes. In its post on X, Miami PD shared the flyer and asked the public to call 305-579-6111 or 305-603-6300 with any tips, signing off with the initials KD. The department has emphasized that its social media account is not monitored around the clock, so anyone with an emergency is urged to call 911 instead.

As of the flyer’s release, no additional details have been made public about the circumstances of Mosqueda’s disappearance, including whether investigators believe he left on his own or whether they suspect foul play — a question the dossier notes remains open.
