Russell Takeo Shigeura, a 28-year-old man from San Francisco, California, was last seen on April 24, 2008.

Shigeura was described as being of mixed Asian and Caucasian descent, standing 5'7" tall and weighing 140 pounds. He was last seen wearing a blue t-shirt and sneakers. His case has been classified as a lost/injured missing person due to the presumption of his death, though he remains officially missing since no physical remains have been located.
