Birmingham police are urgently seeking assistance from the community to locate three missing men: Lacarman Mitchell, Gerard A. Johns, and Morris Johnson. Lacarman, aged 49, has been missing since January, while Gerard, 40, has not shown up for work and hasn’t communicated with family. Morris, 58, was last seen seeking medical attention on November 18. Authorities urge anyone with information to contact the police to aid in their safe return.

Birmingham Police Need Your Help to Find Three Missing Men!

Birmingham is buzzing with concern as local police reach out to the community for assistance in locating three missing men. This is a critical moment, and the information you possess could make a world of difference in bringing these individuals home safely. Let’s take a moment to spotlight each of these missing men, starting with Lacarman Mitchell, a 49-year-old gentleman who has not been heard from since January.

Who’s Lacarman Mitchell?

Lacarman stands at 5-foot, 11-inches and weighs around 185 pounds. This Black man is known to frequent the Greyhound bus station, which raises concerns as it too often becomes a hub for those needing help. His disappearance without any word has raised alarms, and police are eager to uncover any leads. If anyone in the community has come across Lacarman or has any information that can assist the police, you’re encouraged to reach out by calling (205) 328-9311. Your call could be the key to reuniting him with his family.

Next Up, Gerard A. Johns!

Now, let’s discuss Gerard A. Johns, who is only 40 years old and lives in Crestwood. Gerard’s family and friends are deeply worried since he has not reported to work recently—something they say is quite unusual for him. This puts a growing spotlight on his safety as family members haven’t been in contact with him either. He is about 5-feet 8-inches tall and weighs approximately 175 pounds. Gerard has black hair and brown eyes, but details of what he was wearing at the time of his disappearance are not known.

Police are gravely concerned for Gerard and believe he may be in danger. If you have any insights, no matter how small they may seem, you’re asked to contact Birmingham police by calling (205) 328-9311 or even dialing 911. Every little bit helps!

Finally, Morris Johnson Needs Assistance!

Last but certainly not least is Morris Johnson, a 58-year-old man who has unfortunately not been seen or heard from since Monday, November 18. Morris was seeking medical attention due to feeling ill and hasn’t returned home since. He was driving a black Chevrolet Avalanche with the Alabama tag number 1A0P5BR. Morris is described as a tall man, standing at 6 feet 7 inches and weighing approximately 260 pounds. His health and wellbeing are a priority, as he may be suffering from an unknown medical condition.

If you happen to spot Morris or have any knowledge about his whereabouts, please don’t hesitate to reach out to the Birmingham Police Department at (205) 328-9311. Alternatively, you can contact Crime Stoppers at (205) 254-7777. It is crucial to act quickly to ensure the safety of individuals in need.

The Power of Community

The disappearance of Lacarman, Gerard, and Morris is a call for action to the Birmingham community. Every eye and every ear can make a difference. Sharing information, spreading the word, and staying vigilant can help bring these men back to their loved ones. Community numbers matter, and collectively, we can assist in ensuring their safe return. Time is of the essence, so let’s rally together, Birmingham! Keep your eyes peeled, and let’s bring these missing men home.
