SAN ANTONIO, TX — Texas public safety officials are asking San Antonio residents to help find 71-year-old Raymond Johnson, who was last seen downtown Saturday morning. Authorities say Johnson disappeared after being spotted near the 500 block of North St. Mary’s Street at about 10 a.m.

The request for assistance comes from the Texas Department of Public Safety, which is working to gather leads on Johnson’s current location. Officials released a description of what he was wearing and what he looked like at the time he was last seen.

Anyone who may have seen him or has information about where he could be is being urged to contact law enforcement right away.

What investigators say about Johnson’s last known whereabouts

Johnson was reportedly seen in the downtown area of San Antonio in the morning hours on Saturday. The location given is the 500 block of North St. Mary’s Street, a busy stretch near the city center.

That detail is the main starting point for the search. At this stage, officials have not publicly shared additional details about where Johnson may have gone after that sighting or whether he was traveling with anyone.

Public alerts like this typically depend on community members who may have been in the area and noticed something that could help investigators piece together a timeline.

Description released to help the public identify him

Authorities describe Johnson as 5 feet, 10 inches tall and weighing about 250 pounds. He has hazel eyes and gray hair.

Officials also said he was wearing a baseball cap, a green shirt and gray shorts when he was last seen. Those details may help people who were downtown Saturday remember someone matching his appearance.

The Texas Department of Public Safety is encouraging anyone who spots a person fitting that description to take the situation seriously and notify police rather than trying to handle it alone.

Bexar County Sheriff’s Office listed as the contact point

The public is being asked to call the Bexar County Sheriff’s Office with any tips about Johnson’s whereabouts. The department’s number is 210-335-6000.

If someone believes Johnson is in immediate danger or needs urgent help, officials say 911 should be called instead.

Using both options gives residents a direct way to report information, whether it is a confirmed sighting, a possible location, or another detail that could help with the search.

Why missing person alerts matter in a crowded city center

Downtown areas can make it harder to track a person’s movements because foot traffic is heavy and people come and go quickly. That is one reason missing person notices often include detailed descriptions and a clear last-known location.

In this case, the combination of age, clothing and the downtown sighting is intended to help the public recognize Johnson if they saw him Saturday or afterward. Even small details from witnesses can matter when authorities are trying to narrow the search.

Officials have not announced any other developments, and the effort remains focused on locating Johnson safely.

How residents can help right now

People who were near North St. Mary’s Street on Saturday morning may want to think back to anyone they saw matching Johnson’s description. Business owners, pedestrians and drivers in the area could all have information that has not yet been reported.

Authorities are asking for prompt calls rather than online speculation. A direct tip to law enforcement can help investigators follow up faster and determine whether a lead is useful.

For now, the key details are Johnson’s age, appearance, clothing and the downtown location where he was last seen. Those facts are what police are using to build the search effort.

A call for awareness as the search continues

Missing person cases often begin with a short window of confirmed information, and this one is no different. Officials have released only the essentials needed to help the public identify Johnson and report any possible sightings.

Anyone with information is asked to contact the Bexar County Sheriff’s Office at 210-335-6000 or call 911 if the situation appears urgent. Until more is known, investigators are relying on community awareness to help locate him.
