Mentally Challenged Man Missing
Los Angeles: The Los Angeles Police Department requests asking for the public's assistance in locating 20-year-old Joseph Tsimi.
Joseph was last seen on July 4, 2007, at about 10:30 AM, at his residence in the 4000 block of Santa Rosalia Drive in South Los Angeles. His mother had left the residence to pick up groceries, but when she returned she discovered Joseph missing.
The mother said Joseph has never done this before and that he has the mental capacity of an 8-year-old. She is extremely concerned because Joseph suffers from seizures and does not have his medication with him. Joseph speaks no English, although able to speak French, because he is originally from Africa.
Joseph has black hair and brown eyes, stands 5' 11" and weighs about
150 pounds. He was last seen wearing a black shirt with white letters
in the front, black jeans and brown shoes.
A photo of Joseph is available from Media Relations Section.

I feel sorry for this person if he is downtown. It is getting ugly west of the 110, where San Julian drug traffic moved. Thank you Angel Sky Deployment (ASD) for illuminating the two legged rats next to my hotel last night. I wish the unPenitent Prince of Potholes would put a street light at 7th and Hartford. You were very kind to help us out at shift change when many of the hotel employees left to walk home through that criminal circus. Again, thank you, and thank you for keeping my heroes safer on the streets. Yr friend,
