Donald E. Arrington was a 63-year-old Black male whose disappearance was traced to December 15, 2021, in the Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania area, with public case listings placing his last known location in Pittsburgh, in Allegheny County. He was described as having brown eyes, gray or partially gray hair, and a heavier build, with public notices listing his weight at about 280 pounds.
The case was entered under NamUs missing person case MP88716, and public listings associated him with the Pittsburgh Police Department as the investigating agency.
The first public appeals described Donald as someone who had not been seen for nearly a month. Pittsburgh police asked for help locating him and said he had last been seen on December 15, 2021. The alert noted that he was known to spend time in downtown Pittsburgh and McKeesport, two areas that became important in understanding the path of the case. In those early notices, the focus was simple and urgent: Donald was missing, his family and community needed answers, and anyone who saw him or knew where he might be was asked to contact Pittsburgh Police Special Victims Unit detectives.
As the search continued, later public reporting emphasized how much time had passed without a confirmed public resolution. WTAE reported that Pittsburgh police were again asking for help after Donald had been missing for a year, identifying December 15, 2021, as the date he disappeared. A Pittsburgh Bureau of Police update likewise stated that Special Victims Unit detectives continued to search for Donald E. Arrington one year after he was last seen in McKeesport, and described him as 64 years old at that time, with brown eyes and gray-and-black hair.
The publicly available information suggests that Donald’s movements on the day he was last known to have contact were connected to both Pittsburgh and McKeesport. Public news alerts said he was known to frequent downtown Pittsburgh and McKeesport, while the case information supplied for this synopsis states that he was confirmed to have visited a facility in Pittsburgh on December 15, 2021, and that it was believed he made it back to the McKeesport area later that same day. That detail gave the case a narrow but deeply concerning timeline: Donald was seen, he appears to have traveled or returned toward a familiar area, and then communication or confirmed sightings stopped.
The case data provided indicates that Donald Arrington’s case resolution status is Deceased, meaning this is no longer an active missing-person case and that he was, regrettably, located deceased. The exact date and circumstances of that resolution are not made clear in the public sources reviewed here, so the exact date is unknown and the available information remains vague. In overview, Donald Arrington’s case began as an endangered missing-person search for a 63-year-old man last seen on December 15, 2021, in the Pittsburgh and McKeesport area; it involved public appeals from Pittsburgh police, repeated calls for information as time passed, and a later case resolution indicating that he was found deceased, leaving the public record with limited details but a clear reminder that Donald was a real person whose absence mattered to those who knew and loved him.Last Seen: Dec 15, 2021
