Foul play is suspected in disappearance of Paso Robles man, police say

The Paso Robles Police Department believes that foul play is involved in the disappearance of a Paso Robles resident who was last seen eight weeks ago.

Trevon Perry was last seen March 16 in the area of Poppy Lane, according to a Paso Robles Police Department Facebook post.

According to police, Perry was last seen by his family leaving his residence with friends. Those friends told police they last saw Perry leave another friend’s home on foot after attending a small get-together, according to a news release.

Friends and family have not been able to contact Perry, and it seems his cell phone has been turned off, police said. One of Perry’s friends called the agency to report him missing on Monday.

Perry is described as a light-skinned African-American man of medium build who stands about 5 feet, 8 inches tall and weighs 170 pounds, police said.

According to police, he was last seen wearing a white T-shirt, blue jeans and possibly a black sweatshirt with a black baseball hat.

Perry has tattoos on both his arms and regularly wears a St. Christopher necklace, police said.

The Paso Robles Police Department and San Luis Obispo County District Attorney’s office have investigated the incident for the past eight weeks.

According to the Paso Robles Police Department news release, more than 15 investigators between the two agencies are on the case.

Investigators said they believe Perry’s disappearance was suspicious and suspect foul play.

The police have served several search warrants to collect evidence, according to the release.

The Paso Robles Police Department asks anyone with information regarding Perry to call 805-237-6464 and ask for detective Bryce Lickness.
