The Alexandria Police Department is searching for 24-year-old Jose Eduardo Gonzalez Calimayor, who was last seen at around 2 p.m. working as a landscaper in Old Town.

Gonzalez Calimayor, a resident of Fort Washington, Maryland, was last seen working in the 300 block of Commerce Street, police said in a release.

His green 1999 Mazda Millenia is also missing. The car has significant front-end damage, and has Maryland license plates reading 8BT1303.

“It doesn’t appear to be suspicious,” APD senior communication officer Amanda Paga told ALXnow. “It’s just unusual that he’s not been seen or heard from.”

Anyone who has seen Gonzalez Calimayor or has information is asked to contact Detective B. Gill at 202-420-6209 or Detective R. Clinch at 703-597-6255.

Callers can remain anonymous.
