Her daughter asked that anyone who sees him contact her at the number 55383789.

Reports of disappearances of people have been very frequent this past year. Daily, requests for help from family and friends circulate on social media to obtain information that could help locate their loved ones, due to the lack of a channel from the Cuban state to do so.

Last week, a man sought help to find his mother, who has been missing for several days in Holguín. The woman is suffering from a nervous illness and escaped from her home.

Also, at the beginning of the month, the family members of Yeleine Hudson Téllez turned to social media to report her disappearance in Havana and to ask for the community's help in locating her.

Mirian Blake, a 74-year-old elderly woman with dementia, has been missing for more than three months in the Cuban capital, according to her family.

One of the cases that remains unresolved is that of young mother Karildi Marín, who disappeared in Havana in December 2023. Ten months after her disappearance, her family continues to seek answers about what happened to her and questioning the police's actions in her case.
