On June 22, 2019, 32-year-old Aaron Lee Day, a Black male from Kansas City, Missouri, was last seen in the area of 17th Street and Kansas Avenue in KCMO. Police and public case records place the time at approximately 1:00 p.m., when Aaron was seen on foot in that neighborhood. He was described as 5 feet 7 inches tall and about 135 pounds, with black hair and brown eyes.
His disappearance was immediately concerning to his family, who reported worry for his welfare, and Kansas City, Missouri, police asked the public for help locating him.
The circumstances reported in online missing-person records are painful and vulnerable. Aaron was said to have been under the influence of drugs when he ran out of a house and down the street, and he was not wearing any clothing at the time. The Charley Project classifies his case as endangered missing and lists his clothing description as naked, reflecting the unusual and urgent nature of his last known moments. Public summaries connected to NamUs state that Aaron has not been seen since June 22, 2019, after leaving the house and running down the street.
The identifying details released in Aaron’s case were limited but important. In addition to his height, weight, hair color, and eye color, The Charley Project lists distinctive tattoos: the initials “KC” on his right shoulder and the name “Keymoni” on his chest. Those details may have been especially significant because Aaron was reportedly without clothing when he disappeared, leaving tattoos and physical characteristics among the clearest ways someone might recognize him. The same case page notes that few details are available, which has left the public record sparse and the story marked by unanswered questions.
After Aaron vanished, the Kansas City Missouri Police Department’s Missing Persons Section was identified as the investigating agency, and the public was asked to call 816-234-5136 with information about his whereabouts. A local news report from KSHB said police were seeking assistance because Aaron’s family was concerned for his welfare, while public case databases continued to present him as missing. There is no indication in the online sources reviewed that Aaron’s case has been resolved as found alive or deceased.
Aaron Lee Day’s case remains a stark account of a man last seen in a moment of distress, moving on foot through Kansas City on a summer afternoon and then disappearing from public view. The known facts are few: he was 32 years old, male, Black, last seen near 17th Street and Kansas Avenue around 1:00 p.m. on June 22, 2019; he was described as 5 feet 7 inches tall and 135 pounds, with black hair, brown eyes, and identifying tattoos; and police asked the community for help after his family expressed concern. The overview of the case is that Aaron was last seen in a vulnerable condition, has not been publicly documented as located, and his disappearance continues to be defined by the need for answers, recognition, and care for the loved ones left searching.Last Seen: Jun 22, 2019
