Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP54314)
Josue Ramirez-Ramos, a 15-year-old boy, was last seen on January 9, 2018, in Wilmington, California.

At the time of his disappearance, Josue was wearing a black hooded sweatshirt, gray pants, gray shoes, and carrying a black-and-white Adidas backpack.
