Tacoma, WA – Authorities are asking for the public’s help in locating a 69-year-old man reported missing in Pierce County early Tuesday morning.
According to the Washington State Patrol, a Silver Alert was activated after David Quintana left his residence around 2 a.m. Tuesday. His last known cell phone location pinged near Fife at approximately 7 a.m.
Quintana is described as 5 feet 10 inches tall, weighing 180 pounds, with black hair and brown eyes. He was last seen wearing a white shirt, gray shorts and slippers. Authorities said he may not be able to return home without assistance.
Officials believe Quintana may be traveling in a dark blue 2024 Mazda CX-90 with Washington license plate number CMS0738. A photo of a similar vehicle was provided in the alert, though investigators emphasized it is not the exact car.
The Pierce County Sheriff’s Department requested the activation of the Silver Alert due to concerns for Quintana’s safety. Silver Alerts are issued statewide when older adults or vulnerable individuals go missing and are believed to be at risk.
Law enforcement is urging anyone who spots Quintana or the vehicle to immediately call 911.
