One Year, No Answers: Sacramento Family Still Searching for Missing Man

A year has passed since Lovett Moore Jr. walked into the Aisle One gas station on Arena Boulevard on June 28, 2025, and never came home. For his family—his mother Pamela Matthews, sister Tashay Price, and brother Johnny Tillis—that single day has stretched into an agonizing cycle of waiting, hoping, and refusing to give up.

Moore, known as L-J, was legally blind. Visiting the gas station wasn’t a spontaneous trip; it was part of his daily routine, a familiar anchor in his day. Surveillance footage captured him inside wearing a green shirt and black shorts. Then he vanished. No confrontation. No dramatic exit. Just gone—and the lack of any clear explanation is what haunts his family most.

On June 28, 2026, exactly one year later, Moore’s family returned to that same location on Arena Boulevard to gather, pray, and plead with the community for help. Their frustration is palpable. The Sacramento Police Department confirmed the case remains open, but with no new leads and no updates to report, the investigation has stalled.“I just want them to do their job, give our family the peace and the justice that we deserve,”Price said, her words carrying the weight of months spent in limbo. His brother Johnny Tillis described it plainly:“This is like a nightmare that we cannot get out of our heads.”

What makes this case particularly painful is the family’s suspicion of foul play—a gut feeling born from the impossible circumstances. A legally blind man doesn’t simply vanish from a busy intersection without some explanation. Yet Sacramento police have not confirmed that theory, leaving the Moore family in a state of uncertainty that may be worse than knowing a definitive answer.

Pamela Matthews’words cut to the heart of it:“I’m asking God to please come in and bring my baby home.”She took time off work for weeks after L-J disappeared, unable to shake the fear that he might return and find no one waiting. A year later, that same dread persists.

If you have any information about Lovett Moore Jr.’s whereabouts, the Sacramento Police Department is asking you to come forward. For a family that refuses to let this story fade, every tip—no matter how small—could be the piece that finally brings answers home.
