The Gautier Police Department is asking the public's help in locating 24-year-old Desmond Moore, who was reported missing on Sept. 2, according to Capt. Jerry Cooksey.
Lt. Scott Wilson, the lead detective on the case, said Moore was last seen on Aug. 30 when he left his mother's home in Gautier to walk to the Pizza Hut less than a mile away to meet friends.
"He never showed up and no one has heard from him since then," Wilson said.
Moore is a black male, standing 5-foot-9 and weighing 140 pounds with shoulder-length dreadlocks.
"We don't suspect anything has happened to him at this point," Cooksey said. "We hope everything is all right and we are looking for him."
On Saturday, Delaina Moore, the missing man's mom, and other family and friends were passing out flyers and conducting their own search in different areas of Jackson County.
She said it's unusual for Moore to not contact her and let her know where he is, and that's what has her worried.
"I just want to bring my son home," she said. "Drop him off at the hospital or whatever. Just bring him home."
If you have any information about Moore's whereabouts, you are asked to call the Gautier Police Department at 228-497-2486.
"As we have developed leads, we have followed them but at the moment we are at a standstill," Wilson said. "If you have seen Desmond Moore or talked to him since Aug. 30, we need to know about it. Right now, we don't have a lot to go on."
Delaina Moore also filed a missing person report for her son with the Jackson County Sheriff's Department.
"The family came to us asking for assistance in finding him," said sheriff spokesman Shane Langfitt. "Gautier is the lead agency since that's the last place he was seen. We've reached out to Gautier to offer them any assistance then need from us."
