JPD asks public to help locate missing man

The Jackson Police Department is asking for public help in locating 42-year-old Xavier Giovannia Larry, who was last seen June 13, 2026, the department said.

Police described Larry as medium complexion with a small afro, about 5-foot-5 and 200 pounds. He reportedly has a tattoo on his hands that reads “HOOD RICH” and was last seen wearing a black shirt and camouflage pants, the department said.

The Jackson Police Department is the municipal law enforcement agency for Jackson, Mississippi, and regularly works with the public on missing-person investigations. Authorities say community tips can be crucial in locating missing adults, and they routinely ask anyone with relevant information to come forward so investigators can quickly follow leads.

If you know the whereabouts of Larry, contact the Jackson Police Department at 601-960-1800 or 601-906-7068. We will provide more information as it becomes available.
