Ivan Trinidad, a 27-year-old man, was last seen on August 23, 2019, in San Diego, California. Surveillance footage captured him crossing the U.S.-Mexico border on that day.

His disappearance remains unsolved, and authorities continue to seek information that might provide clues to his whereabouts. The circumstances surrounding his crossing into Mexico and the discovery of his vehicle have raised concerns, but no significant developments have emerged to explain his disappearance.

Anyone with information is urged to contact the relevant authorities to assist in the ongoing investigation.
