Friday, July 13, 2018  

A citizen of the Navajo Nation has been missing for more than two months and family and friends are seeking help in locating him.

Billy Nez, Jr., was last seen in Manhattan Beach, California, on April 28. He turned 50 years old just a week later.

"Looking for my uncle in California -- all of east Los Angeles and central LA," said his nephew, Craig William Nez, who is coordinating search efforts on behalf of the family.

Nez went to California to work on construction jobs. The last family member who saw him was his sister, Julietta Nez.

Nez, who was born May 5, 1968, stands 5’7” tall and weighs 165 lbs. He has a tear drop tattoo below his right eye.

Family members have filed a missing person's report with authorities in California. They also filed one with Navajo police.

Anyone with information is urged to contact Craig Nez at (928) 797-4821, or via email at littlefeathernez28@gmail.com.

The Los Angeles Sheriff’s Department can be contacted at (310) 510-0174.
