Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP112958) and 9 other sources
Joshua Corderra Reed was last known to be in Jackson, Mississippi, in early February 2023, with public case listings placing his last-seen location near Gallatin Street and Capitol Street in the downtown Jackson area. The Mississippi Repository for Missing and Unidentified Persons lists his case as missing, with the date missing or last seen recorded as February 1, 2023, and the location identified as Jackson in Hinds County. Publicly available information describes Joshua as a Black man with brown eyes, bald hair, facial hair, a height of 6 feet 2 inches, and a weight of about 180 pounds. One of the most distinguishing details noted in the public case information is a large, lightly shaded birthmark under or near his right eye.

Before he disappeared from regular contact, Joshua was known to walk around the Jackson area. MissingSippi’s public case page says he was last seen sometime in February 2023 near Gallatin and Capitol Streets and notes that, after his family had no contact with him and he had not been seen walking for some time, relatives reported him missing. That detail gives the case a painful human center: Joshua’s absence was not immediately understood through a single dramatic event, but through silence, worry, and the gradual realization by those who loved him that something was wrong.

The Jackson Police Department later issued a missing person alert for Joshua Corderra Reed. A public report from Darkhorse Press, published on October 17, 2023, stated that Jackson police were looking for him and repeated that he had last been seen downtown near Gallatin and Capitol Street. Investigators also emphasized his physical description, including his height, weight, bald head, and the lightly shaded birthmark on the right side of his face, details that could help someone recognize him if they had seen him in Jackson or elsewhere.

The official case information identifies the Jackson Police Department as the investigating agency, with the agency case number listed as 23-08-07825. The Mississippi Repository lists Detective RaKasha Collins of the Special Victims Unit as the agency contact and provides the Jackson Police Department telephone number as 960-1234. MissingSippi separately lists contact information for the Jackson Police Department Special Victims Unit and Crime Stoppers, reflecting the continued public request for information from anyone who may know where Joshua went or what happened after he was last seen.

As it stands in the public online information reviewed, Joshua Reed’s case is a missing person case centered in Jackson, Mississippi, beginning in February 2023 near Gallatin and Capitol Streets. He was a familiar presence to those who knew his routines, someone known to walk around the area, and his disappearance became alarming when contact stopped and he was no longer seen as expected. The core facts remain limited but important: Joshua Corderra Reed was last seen in Jackson, he has distinctive identifying features including a light birthmark near his right eye, the Jackson Police Department is the investigating agency, and his family and the public sources connected to the case continue to seek answers about where he is and what happened after he vanished from contact.
