A 20-year-old has been missing from St. Paul since the weekend, and his family and police are asking people to be on the lookout for him.

St. Paul police issued an alert earlier this week, saying Sebastian “Sebas” Santibanez is an endangered missing person. He was last seen walking away from his residence in the Midway area about 5 a.m. Sunday, according to a bulletin from police. A flyer his mother posted said he’s been missing since Saturday.

“We need people’s eyes and ears to assist us with trying to find Sebastian and making sure he’s safe,” said Sgt. Mike Ernster, a St. Paul police spokesman, on Wednesday.

Santibanez’s mother, Martha Burton, has asked people to put up flyers about her son — they have an account established, so people can pick up flyers and tape at no cost from FedEx Office at Grand and Snelling avenues.

A map at bit.ly/3VQfE4n is being used to track sightings of Santibanez, places where flyers need to be posted and spots where flyers are already posted. People can comment on a post on Burton’s Facebook page to add a location to the map.

Santibanez is described as 5 feet 9 inches tall, 120 pounds, with black hair and brown eyes. He was last seen wearing all black clothes, white tennis shoes and carrying a black backpack. He has small tattoos on his hands.

Anyone with information is asked to call St. Paul police at 651-291-1111.
