Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP82584) and 4 other sources
Ronald Porter, a 45-year-old African American man, was last seen in Los Angeles, California, on November 23, 2020. Standing at 6'2" and weighing approximately 186 pounds, Porter was known to frequent both the Los Angeles and Las Vegas areas. His disappearance has been listed in various missing persons databases, but details about the circumstances surrounding his last known activities are scarce.

Porter’s case has drawn attention due to its mysterious nature, with little evidence or leads emerging since he was reported missing. Authorities have continued to search for him, urging the public to provide any tips that might help in locating him. Despite efforts, his whereabouts remain unknown, and his case remains unsolved.

The Los Angeles Police Department and the National Missing and Unidentified Persons System (NamUs) are both involved in the ongoing investigation, and anyone with information is encouraged to come forward.
