KANSAS CITY, Mo. — The Independence Police Department is searching for a man who went missing on Jan. 7.

Irvin J. Banda-Silva was last in contact with his family early last month and has not been seen since, per IPD.

Banda-Silva is described as 6 feet, 2 inches tall and weighs around 200 pounds.

He has black hair, brown eyes, a cross tattoo on the back of his neck and was last seen with a full beard and a mohawk.

Police say his family "is concerned for his mental well being, believing there may be undiagnosed conditions."

The family told officers that he has visited homeless shelters in the past.
