Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP146339)
Hunter Raymond Gutierrez, a 30‑year‑old man from Davie, Florida, was reported missing after he left his family home on the night of May 31 into early June, without his wallet or cellphone and on foot. Authorities describe a vulnerable situation due to his history of mental health struggles, including diagnosed depression and prior self‑harm attempts.
He was last seen in the Imagination Farms neighborhood near the 13800 block of Southwest 39th Street, wearing a gray T‑shirt and dark‑colored shorts.
Police quickly categorized Hunter as a “missing endangered person,” given these mental health concerns and his abrupt departure without essential personal items. Community awareness efforts were swift; flyers circulated both online and in nearby neighborhoods like Plantation and Weston. Residents rallied alongside his family to aid in the search, with one reported sighting near The Fountains shopping center, where a witness believed they saw Hunter barefoot.
By late June, nearly a month into his disappearance, investigators remained actively searching. They appealed to the public for any information, urging tips be directed to Detective B. Byrne of the Davie Police Department at 693‑8096 or via email.
In early August, the family received heartbreaking news. A body was discovered by authorities in a lake near Davie on August 7. Although initially withheld, the remains were later confirmed by family to be those of Hunter, who was described in a heartfelt social media statement as a warm and loving son and brother. His loved ones expressed deep sorrow over the loss, yet acknowledged that the discovery brought a painful but meaningful sense of closure. The family extended gratitude for the unwavering community support during those difficult months.Last Seen: May 31, 2025
