The Dallas Police Department has issued a Critical Missing Person Alert and is urgently seeking the public’s help in locating Rickie Parramore, a 72-year-old man who was last seen late Sunday night.
Mr. Parramore was last observed around 11:00 p.m. on May 4, 2025, in the 4400 block of Cowan Avenue, located in a residential area of northwest Dallas. Family members and authorities are growing increasingly concerned for his well-being, as he has not been in contact since his disappearance and may be in need of medical attention.
Rickie Parramore is described as:
- 72 years old
- 6 feet 2 inches tall
- Approximately 200 pounds
- Black and gray balding hair

At the time he was last seen, Mr. Parramore was wearing a distinctive blue Chicago Bears jersey bearing the number #51 (“Butkus”), dark pants, and Nike shoes. The unique sports jersey may help in identifying him, and community members are urged to be alert.
Loved ones say this behavior is uncharacteristic of Rickie, and they are deeply concerned, especially given his age and the time of night he was last seen. While it is currently unclear whether he suffers from any cognitive impairments, police have deemed this case critical, a designation used when there is an immediate concern for a person’s safety.
A search of the surrounding area has already begun, and officers have canvassed nearby streets and parks. Flyers have been posted throughout the neighborhood, and authorities are working to review any available surveillance footage from the vicinity of Cowan Avenue.
