Eric Leroy Maxwell, a 23-year-old Black male, has been missing since February 20, 1984. He was last seen in Los Angeles, California, under circumstances that have led authorities to suspect foul play. At the time of his disappearance, Maxwell was described as being 5'7" tall and weighing approximately 150 pounds, with black hair and brown eyes. He may have had a mustache, beard, or goatee. Maxwell also went by the nickname Jermone Maxwell or the alias Jerome Maxwell.
The Los Angeles Police Department- Adult Missing Persons Unit is the investigating agency for this case, with the assigned case number 841305469. Despite the passage of several decades, few details about the specific events leading to Maxwell's disappearance have been made publicly available. Information regarding what he was doing on the day he was last seen, who he was with, and what he was wearing has not been detailed in available online records.
The case of Eric Leroy Maxwell is classified as an endangered missing person. His case is listed in national and state missing persons databases, including NamUs under case number MP69548. The lack of available information underscores the challenges faced in cold cases. Law enforcement agencies in Los Angeles continue to investigate unsolved homicides and disappearances from that era, a time marked by high rates of crime and gang activity, which can complicate investigations due to the reluctance of witnesses to come forward.Last Seen: Feb 20, 1984
