Daniel Cepeda, a 25-year-old man, was last seen in San Francisco, California, on January 20, 2016. At the time of his disappearance, he was described as a Hispanic male, approximately 5'7" tall, weighing 130 pounds, with black hair. Details surrounding his last known whereabouts are limited, and the circumstances leading to his disappearance remain unclear. His case has since been listed on NamUs and various missing person databases, but no significant developments have been reported.

Authorities and the public continue to seek information that could lead to Daniel's whereabouts. Like many missing person cases in San Francisco, the lack of evidence has made progress difficult. His family and investigators have made ongoing appeals for information, hoping that someone might come forward with a critical tip that could help resolve the case. Daniel's case highlights the challenges faced by missing person investigations in large cities, where many similar cases remain unsolved.
