🚨 33-year-old Lovett “LJ” Moore is missing.
On June 28, 2025, LJ — a blind, disabled man — was last seen on surveillance being led out of a gas station on Arena Blvd in North Natomas. That was 53 days ago… and Sacramento PD still hasn’t brought his family answers.
👁️ LJ lived with vision loss. He had a burn on his leg. He depended on others for support. Yet, the people last seen with him have shown up at his mother’s home — and still, nothing has been done.
✊🏾 His family has been out every single day — searching, calling for action, begging Sacramento to care. They’ve had more support from the Bay Area than their own city. And now, they’re asking you to show up.
🎙️ In this episode of Black, Brown & Unsolved, I sat down with LJ’s mom, his siblings, and community activist Leia Shank of EMPACT. Together, we talk about the night he disappeared, the failures since, and the fight to keep hope alive.
