Kayshaunn Wortham, a 23-year-old light-skinned African American male, has been missing from the San Francisco area since April 22, 2025. He was last seen near the Ocean Beach and Outer Sunset area, with his last known sighting reported near the Shell station at 19th Avenue and Taraval Street. Family members say he had been staying at a hotel described as a Homewood Suites in the Outer Sunset area, though locals have noted there is no Homewood Suites location within San Francisco proper — the nearest one is in Brisbane near SFO, which could be relevant to anyone searching.
His family is asking for any help or resources the community can offer.
Here's what you can do right now:
- If you have any information, contact SFPD immediately. If a police report has been filed, reference that case number when calling.
- Share this story and any flyers on social media, Nextdoor, and community boards. As one SF resident with experience in the city's criminal justice system put it: "SF and the Bay Area in general are very digital and online driven. Social media is your friend. Find people to help you post to Nextdoor" and other local platforms.
- Check the area. If you live in the Outer Sunset, Parkside, or anywhere near Ocean Beach, keep your eyes open.
For the family: filing a police report with SFPD — if you haven't already — is the critical first step. The report number allows law enforcement agencies across the region to coordinate, and it's required for most formal search resources.
San Francisco is a big city, but it's also a remarkably connected one. We've seen this community come through before. Let's do it again.
Anyone with information should contact SFPD at (415) 553-0123.
