TUCSON - Police are asking for the public's assistance in locating an elderly man who went missing from a midtown senior center Sunday.

Gilbert S. Sanchez, 86, walked out of the Foothills Rehabilitation Center at 2250 North Craycroft Road between 11:30 a.m. and 12 p.m. on Sunday, February 5, according to a news release from Tucson Police Department.

Sanchez has heart and kidney conditions, and is easily confused, the release states. He is described as a Hispanic male, 5'6" tall, 140 pounds with gray hair and brown eyes. He was last seen wearing a white baseball hat, a brown jacket, and tan slacks. He also had a medical "wander" bracelet on one of his wrists, and uses a walker to get around.

Sanchez does not have family in the Tucson area, but may have friends in Rio Rico and Nogales.

Anyone with information about Mr. Sanchez' whereabouts is encouraged to call 911 as soon as possible. He is in need of his heart medication. His picture is included below.
