Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP23419) and 5 other sources
Victor Hugo Ramirez, 33, was last seen on January 23, 1999, at his auto body shop located in the 1000 block of East 51st Street in Los Angeles, California. Ramirez, who also used the alias Victor Hugo Garcia, disappeared under unclear circumstances and has not been heard from since that day. He is described as a Hispanic male with black hair and brown eyes, standing 5'6" and weighing around 170 pounds. He has a distinctive tattoo of a heart on his right arm.

Despite the investigation into his case, few details have emerged, and his disappearance remains unsolved. His family and authorities continue to seek any information that may lead to answers about his whereabouts. Ramirez's case is still listed as open with the Los Angeles Police Department, and anyone with information is encouraged to come forward to help resolve this case.

His dental records are available, but no further identifying information, such as fingerprints or DNA, has been listed in the databases. The mysterious circumstances surrounding his disappearance have left the case cold for many years.
