A 24-year-old man who went missing after a night at a Miami Beach bar had lost his job and had broken up with his girlfriend shortly before his disappearance, police said Monday.
Jorge David Reyes was last seen around 3 a.m. on April 7 at the club Lost Weekend, and was reported missing on April 17 by his sister, Miami Beach Police said Monday.
Surveillance video shows Reyes leaving the club with friend Estuardo Secaida, and since then the budding musician hasn't been seen or heard from.
Police said Reyes behavior had recently been spiraling out of control.
“According to his sister, because of everything that has been going on in his life, recently he has started using alcohol and drugs," Det. Vivian Thayer said.
Secaida, who only spoke with NBC 6, said when the two were at Lost Weekend together Reyes was acting out of character.
"He was a little bit strange because he lost his job, his girlfriend, everything, he changed a lot," Secaida said.
Secaida said before he parted ways with Reyes, his friend told him he was getting a tattoo.
"He decided to go get a tattoo at Miami Ink but Miami Ink at that time is not open," he said.
Reyes' father Jorge also spoke exclusively with NBC 6 and said his son always stays in contact with family and friends. He said he's confused his son's phone was found left behind at Lost Weekend four days after he went missing.
“The last phone call that he made was the 7th of April at 12:12 in the morning to the friend he was with and after that he never called again," father Jorge Reyes said.
Police said there has also been no movement in Reyes' bank account or on his Facebook or Twitter profiles.
"Since the day he went missing and was reported missing there’s been no activity on his social media accounts," Thayer said.
As of now Miami Beach Police are treating this as a missing persons case. Anyone with information can call Miami-Dade CrimeStoppers at 305–471–TIPS.
