Long Beach police are asking for the public’s help locating a 48-year-old man who walked away from a care facility today and may be in need of his medication.

Police say he left on foot and enjoys visiting local convenience stores. He suffers from medical conditions that may lead him to become disoriented or exhibit childlike behavior with temper tantrums, and he also may appear violent, according to previous reports.
Quiroz is Hispanic, 5 feet, 10 inches tall, 210 pounds, with black hair and brown eyes. He was last seen wearing a gray shirt and blue jean shorts, police said.
Quiroz has been reported missing on several occasions after walking away from the facility. He most recently went missing last month and was found nearly two weeks later in Redlands.
