Levi Ronald Smith was 53 years old when he was reported missing from Washington, D.C., on September 6, 2005. NamUs lists his case as Missing Person / NamUs #MP216, with his date of last contact recorded as September 6, 2005, and the Charley Project classifies him as an endangered missing person. He is described as a Black male who was 5 feet 11 inches tall and weighed approximately 200 to 220 pounds at the time he disappeared.
He had graying black hair and brown eyes, and the Charley Project lists “Twin” and “Brother” as nicknames.
According to the Metropolitan Police Department’s missing-person flyer, Levi was last seen at about 1:00 p.m. leaving his residence in the 3500 block of Hayes Street, NE, in Washington, D.C. The same MPD flyer states that he was last seen wearing beige pants and a white T-shirt, while the Charley Project gives the clothing description as a white T-shirt, tan or burgundy pants, and black sneakers. Uncovered’s case summary, citing NamUs, also reports that Levi left the area on foot and that the circumstances of his disappearance were listed as unknown.
A particularly concerning part of Levi’s case is that multiple sources report he had an unspecified medical condition and needed medication. The available public information does not explain the nature of that condition, and there are few publicly reported details about what may have happened after he left his residence. The Charley Project states that he has not been heard from again, and that few details are available in his case.
The investigating agency listed for Levi’s case is the Washington, D.C. Metropolitan Police Department. MPD’s public flyer asked anyone with information about Levi Smith’s whereabouts to contact Sixth District Officer Anthony Vereen at 698-0848 or the department’s Synchronized Operations Command Center at 727-9099. The flyer also described him as a “critical missing person” and noted that his family would be extremely grateful for assistance in bringing him home.
Levi’s case remains one marked by limited publicly available information, but the details that are available convey the seriousness of his disappearance: a man with medical needs left his home on foot in the middle of the day and did not return. His loved ones and the community have been left with uncertainty, and the public record continues to preserve his name, description, last known location, and the plea for information that could help explain what happened to him.Last Seen: Sep 6, 2005
