Police are asking for the public’s assistance in locating an endangered missing man in Essex.

Marcquel Missouri, 32, wandered out of his parents’ Essex-area home at around 9 p.m. Saturday evening after they’d gone to sleep. They awoke to find him missing.

He suffers from autism and a reduced mental functioning that leaves him vulnerable without a supervising adult.

Marcquel is a black male, approximately 6’1″, 180 pounds with brown eyes, short black braided hair, and presently has no facial hair. He was last seen wearing a maroon sweater, a checker print hooded sweatshirt, and “Converse” tennis-shoes.

Anyone who sees Marcquel Missouri or may have information on his whereabouts is asked to call 911 or contact police at the Essex Precinct (410) 887-0220.
