A missing and endangered man was found dead outside a local grocery store Thursday evening, ending a day-long search by the St. Joseph Police Department.
67-year old Juan Francisco Holguin Perez was first reported missing after he was last seen Wednesday afternoon in the area of 1500 N. 8th St. Concerns for his safety led the SJPD to issue a Nixle Alert just before 5 a.m. Thursday, requesting the public's help in locating him.
Perez was discovered deceased outside Brothers Market approximately 12 hours after the initial alert was sent.
Authorities have stated that there is no suspicion of foul play involved in the incident. The SJPD confirmed that the next of kin has been notified.
