Police sought the public’s assistance Wednesday in locating a man who was 41 years old when he was last seen in Perris and reported missing by his family six years ago.
Ruben Moreno was last seen in December 2017 at a residence in the 3900 block of Swarthmore Court, where he was amongst members of a religious organization known as His Way Spirit Led Assemblies, according to the Claremont Police Department.
Moreno’s family reported that he went missing in August 2019.
Police stated that Moreno was affiliated with a group within the religious organization and was living at the residence with other members of His Way Spirit Led Assemblies, who no longer occupy or live at the residence.
Moreno was described as a 5-foot-6-inch-tall Hispanic man weighing approximately 180 pounds with black hair and brown eyes.
Detectives have not determined whether Moreno’s disappearance resulted from any suspected foul play and are continuing an ongoing investigation.
“We are aware of public interest in possible connections between this case and a separate missing persons investigation out of Redlands. At this time, the only known similarity between the two cases are the individuals’ ties to His Way Spirit Led Assemblies,” the police department said in a statement.
Anyone with information regarding Moreno’s whereabouts was urged to call the Claremont Police Department at 909-399-5411. Tipsters who prefer to remain anonymous can call Crime Stoppers at 800-222-8477 or visit lacrimestoppers.org.
