Angel Nieves Estrada, also known as Angel Ignacio Estrada, is a 20-year-old Hispanic male who was reported missing from San Diego, California. Born on March 7, 2002, Angel stood approximately 5′2″ tall and weighed around 193 pounds at the time of his disappearance. His physical features include brown hair and brown eyes, with distinct tattoos: his middle name “Nieves” and Arabic letters inked on his back, along with the word “Pipila” tattooed on his arm.
On July 23, 2022, Angel was last seen in the San Diego area wearing a green olive “Good Fellow” T-shirt, black camouflage-print sweatpants featuring green side stripes, and black Polo shoes. The San Diego Police Department assigned this case number MP103308 and emphasized that Angel may also be known by the name Angel Ignacio Estrada. At the time of reporting, he was 20 years old. The California Department of Justice records list the date of his last contact as July 24, 2022 while NamUs confirms July 23, 2022 as the official disappearance date.
Official listings from the California Attorney General’s Office state that digital dental X-rays are unavailable for Angel, and highlight that his tattoos are distinguishing features. The San Diego Police Missing Persons Unit is investigating the case and has urged anyone with information to contact them at 619‑531‑2844.
Despite being officially recorded by the DOJ, NamUs, and advocacy sites like the Charley Project, very few substantive leads have emerged. The Charley Project notes that Angel “was last seen in San Diego, California on July 24, 2022. He has never been heard from again. Few details are available in his case”. NamUs also reflects the scant specifics surrounding his disappearance, listing the date of last contact but offering no further context.
Authorities have encouraged the public to share any information regarding Angel’s whereabouts or activities following his disappearance. Given the elapsed time—now three years—and the absence of new tips, the case remains open and unresolved. Anyone who may have encountered Angel after his last confirmed sighting, or who has relevant knowledge, is strongly urged to come forward and assist investigators.Last Seen: Jul 23, 2022
