A Pico Rivera man who was last seen in Victorville is missing and his family is seeking assistance to help locate him. Ronald “Ronnie” Angel Chavez’ last known whereabouts was at the Arco AMPM on Mariposa and Bear Valley Road.
Ronald was diagnosed with Major Depression with psychotic features in early April. “My main concern is his state of mind, he can be fine sometimes and other times he is not,” said Rosa Chavez, Ronald’s mother.
Rosa said that she believes that Ronald was heading back to their Pico Rivera home from Laughlin, Nevada and realized that he needed gas when he was in Victorville. He called her cell phone from the gas station on Mariposa and Bear Valley Road asking her to transfer some gas money to him. Rosa transferred $50 to his account at 5:00 a.m. on Friday, April 27th. …show more content…
“When he is depressed he does not sleep, does not eat and we have not been successful in getting him to take his prescribed medication.”
On Friday night Ronald, who was wearing red, white and blue swimming trunks, a black shirt and tennis shoes told his family he was going swimming. When Ronald did not return a few hours after they went to check on him. They noticed that Ronald left in their vehicle, traveling the I-40 to the I-15 South all without money in his possession, which led to the call for gas on Friday, April 27th.
When Ronald did not arrive home or call, Rosa reported her son missing but said that because Ronald is an adult, Sheriff’s detectives do not consider him at risk. The vehicle Ronald was driving was located by CHP officers on the I-15 freeway, in Baker which is the opposite direction of his home on Saturday afternoon. The vehicle appeared to have run out of gas. The family now has the vehicle back and located the key belonging to the vehicle inside. The key was previously attached to the key to their Laughlin condo but the condo key is no longer
