Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP1255) and 5 other sources
Saeed Hedgepeth, a 25-year-old man, was last seen on April 24, 1999, at a family member's residence near the 1600 block of Alcatraz Avenue in Oakland, California. Around 2:00 p.m. that day, he was supposed to take a bus to the 9600 block of MacArthur Boulevard, but he never arrived at his destination. Saeed was reported missing shortly thereafter, and no further communication or sightings have been made since.

At the time of his disappearance, Saeed was described as an African-American male with black hair and brown eyes, standing 5'4" and weighing around 155 pounds. He wore eyeglasses with gold wire frames and had light scars across both wrists. He may have been wearing shorts, a black t-shirt, and sandals. Hedgepeth also suffered from a medical condition, which has added to the urgency of finding him. Despite extensive investigations, there have been few leads, and his case remains unsolved.

The Oakland Police Department continues to handle his case, and anyone with information is encouraged to contact them.
