Montreal police are asking for the public’s help in locating a missing 64-year-old man.

Vito Pennimpede is a white male, 1.68 m (5 ft 6 in) tall, and weighing approximately 60 kg (133 lbs). He has brown eyes and short, salt-and-pepper hair that is receding.

At the time of his disappearance, he was wearing a black-and-white plaid shirt, black pants, and black boots.

Pennimpede was last seen around 3 a.m. Tuesday in the Mercier–Hochelaga-Maisonneuve borough. He has mental health issues, is non-verbal, and may be disoriented.

He understands French and Italian but communicates primarily by pointing to what he needs. He may be looking for cigarettes on the ground or asking passersby on the street for them.

Investigators have reason to fear for his health and safety.

Anyone with information regarding this missing person should call 911 or contact their local police station.
