Summary based on the NamUs case record (CP999655507)
Raymond Louis Martin was 61 years old when he was last seen in Oakland, California, on December 15, 2020. Publicly available information indicates that he has not been heard from since, and there are very few details in the public record describing what led up to his disappearance or where he may have gone afterward.
He is described as a Black man with black hair and brown eyes, approximately 5'10" and about 200 pounds.
At the time he went missing, he was reported to be wearing a denim jacket, jeans, and white shoes. He is also known by the nickname Ray.
Because so little has been released publicly about the circumstances, it is unclear whether investigators believe he left on foot, used transportation, intended to meet someone, or encountered an emergency. The limited public summary emphasizes that the core facts are straightforward: he was last seen in Oakland and then disappeared from contact, with no verified updates made available in the case narrative.
The investigating agency listed for this case is the Oakland Police Department, and tips are directed to their Missing Persons Unit. Oakland also publishes guidance for missing-person reporting that highlights immediate reporting through 911 and provides key contact numbers tied to the department’s missing-person response, including a 24-hour hotline and an investigations line.
At the state level, California’s Department of Justice missing-person guidance urges anyone who believes they know a missing person’s whereabouts to contact the law-enforcement agency listed in the record, or to contact the DOJ through its toll-free hotline, and notes that the public-facing database is only a subset of missing-person reports. However, the specific DOJ webpage that would ordinarily display an entry under Raymond Louis Martin currently returns a “record was not found” message, so his current status in that public listing cannot be confirmed from that page alone.
Behind every short public entry like this is a circle of people living with unanswered questions, hoping for a call, a sighting, or any clear lead that brings relief. If someone has reliable information about Raymond Louis Martin’s whereabouts—no matter how small it may seem—the most helpful step is to share it directly with the Oakland Police Department’s Missing Persons Unit or through the California DOJ hotline so it can be evaluated and acted on appropriately.Last Seen: Dec 15, 2020
