Toronto police are asking for the public’s help in locating a 25-year-old Scarborough man who hasn’t been seen since last week.
Police said Zhu Jian “Frank” Wang was last seen at 3 a.m. Friday near Yonge and Gerrard streets.
Aashish Oberoi, a friend of Wang’s, told Global News Wang was last seen at a downtown McDonald’s getting food after going to a couple of bars with friends. He said he hasn’t been home and his social media accounts have been inactive. He also said his cellphone is turned off.
“He normally messages at least a couple of people in the morning to be like, ‘That was a fun night,’ or something else and lets us know what he’s doing,” Oberoi said.
“But we haven’t heard anything at all from anyone at all and that’s what I think we find to be the most concerning about this.”
Oberoi said Wang is originally from the United States and just finished studying psychology at York University. He said Wang is friendly and outgoing, and that this is out of character for Wang.
“He is a genuinely nice guy who is reliable and always answers his messages,” Oberoi said.
“He’s normally a very happy person. He was always easy to get along with and I didn’t see any signs of stress on him.”
Police described Wang as 5’9″ tall with a medium build and short, black hair. He was last seen wearing a grey long-sleeved shirt and white shoes.
Officers are concerned for Wang’s safety, police said. Investigators are in the process of reviewing security footage and financial records.
Anyone with information is being asked to call police at 416-808-4200 or Crime Stoppers anonymously at 416-222-8477.
