Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP88900) and 4 other sources
Timothy Ssewamala Kizito, a 56-year-old man, went missing on December 19, 2021, in Los Angeles, California. He had traveled to Los Angeles from Uganda on December 17 to meet a friend, but he lost contact with his family just two days later. Timothy missed his scheduled return flight, and attempts to reach him were unsuccessful.

Kizito is described as a tall man, standing 6 feet 5 inches and weighing around 250 pounds, with black hair and brown eyes. He wears glasses, which are notable as a distinguishing feature. At the time of his disappearance, he was the owner of Bantu Productions, a film production company, and had previously directed the popular Ugandan drama group, The Ebonies.

Recent reports suggest that Timothy's family received distressing news from the FBI, indicating that he had been killed and buried in an unmarked grave. The investigation revealed that a suspect connected to Timothy’s case had taken his own life after realizing that he was being pursued by the authorities. As of now, while Kizito has been confirmed deceased, the efforts to recover his remains are ongoing, marking his case as unresolved until further actions are taken.
