Multiple Silver Alerts are active across the Los Angeles area right now, with two elderly men reported missing from separate parts of the region.

The California Highway Patrol has issued one alert for a 77-year-old man last seen in Culver City, per reports from MyNewsLA.com and Westside Today. A second alert covers an 85-year-old man last seen in South Los Angeles. The two cases appear unrelated.

This is a developing story. Names, physical descriptions, and vehicle information have not yet been confirmed. Check back for updates as authorities release more details.

What Is a Silver Alert?

California's Silver Alert works like an Amber Alert but for missing adults. It's typically triggered when a senior with dementia or another cognitive condition goes missing. CHP coordinates with local agencies to push the alert across highways, media, and emergency systems throughout the affected region.

What Angelenos Should Do

If you're in Culver City or South Los Angeles, keep an eye out for any disoriented or confused elderly men who may need help. If you spot someone matching a Silver Alert description, don't approach in a way that could cause distress. Call 911 immediately and stay with the person if it's safe.

Stay Updated

CAL WIRE will update this story as CHP and local law enforcement release names, descriptions, and additional details on both active alerts. You can also monitor CHP's official Silver Alert page for the latest.
