North Las Vegas police seek public’s help in locating 76-year-old man

North Las Vegas police are requesting the public’s help in locating a 76-year-old man with Parkinson’s disease who has been missing since Thursday.

Ozell Sweat went with his cousin to North Vista Hospital around 10 a.m. He stayed in the car while his cousin went inside.

When his cousin returned, Sweat was gone. He has a history of walking away from caregivers.

Sweat’s family said he has been diagnosed with mental illness and needs medications that weren’t with him when he disappeared. He is dependent on caretakers because he uses a feeding tube to eat.

Sweat is African-American, bald, 5 feet 6 inches tall and weighs 95 lbs. He was last seen wearing a white T-shirt, green and black jacket, dark-colored pants and brown slippers.

Anyone with information about Sweat is asked to contact the North Las Vegas Police Department at 702-633-9111.
