The Laurens Police Department is asking for the public’s assistance in locating Ricky Robinson Jr., a 54-year-old African American man who has been reported missing. According to authorities, Ricky was last seen on or around October 28, 2025, in the area of the Green Street Mini Mart in Laurens, South Carolina.
His family and friends have grown increasingly worried as several days have passed without any word from him.
When Ricky was last seen, he was wearing blue jeans, blue or grey shoes, a black zip-up jacket, and a baseball cap.
He is also known to walk with a brown cane, which could help people identify him if he is spotted.
Loved ones describe Ricky as a kind and familiar face in the community, often seen around local shops and neighborhoods.
His sudden disappearance has caused deep concern for his safety and well-being.
The missing person case was formally reported to the Laurens Police Department on November 3, 2025, at approximately 1:30 p.m. Since receiving the report, officers have been following up on leads, checking surveillance footage from nearby businesses, and speaking with residents who may have seen Ricky in recent days.
However, despite these efforts, his exact whereabouts remain unknown.
Family members describe Ricky as a caring person who usually keeps in touch regularly.
For him to go this long without contacting anyone is completely out of character.
Loved ones continue to search for answers and are pleading with the public to come forward with any piece of information, no matter how small it may seem.
Even a brief sighting or detail about his last known movements could be critical in helping investigators locate him.
The Laurens Police Department emphasizes that community involvement is essential in cases like this.
They are urging anyone who may have seen Ricky or who has any knowledge of his location to contact the department directly at 864-681-2356.
For those who wish to remain anonymous, tips can also be submitted to Laurens County Crime Stoppers by visiting or by calling 864-68-CRIME (864-682-7463).
Authorities stress that even seemingly insignificant detail such as noticing someone matching Ricky’s description walking along a road, visiting a store, or asking for assistance can make a major difference.
Every bit of information helps when it comes to reuniting families and ensuring the safety of missing individuals.
The Laurens Police Department continues to work closely with local agencies and the community to find Ricky and bring him home safely.
Family members remain hopeful and are asking residents of Laurens and surrounding areas to keep an eye out and share the information widely.
Time is often critical in missing person cases, and the more people who are aware, the greater the chances of a safe return.
If you have any information, please come forward. Your call could be the one that helps bring Ricky Robinson Jr. home to his family and loved ones.
