Police today circulated a photo of a missing 23-year- old Cal State Northridge student whose family has not heard from him for days and is concerned for his welfare.

Abdullah Abdullatif Alkadi, a full-time student at CSUN, was last seen about noon Thursday at his Northridge residence in the 9900 block of Reseda Boulevard, the Los Angeles Police Department reported.

His older brother told ABC7 that Alkadi sold his car on Wednesday, but the station reported that police have located the vehicle and the person who purchased it and determined the transaction is not linked the man’s disappearance.

Before being deactivated, Alkadi’s phone was traced to Beaumont in Riverside County, but his brother says he has no ties there.

“We have been in misery for the last two days,” Ahmed Alkadi said. “We have tried everything. We called friends. We called relatives. We called everybody we knew and with no news. We are so worried about him.”

According to the LAPD, Alkadi is of Middle Eastern descent, 5-foot, 3- inches tall and about 110 pounds, with black hair and brown eyes. He was last seen wearing a blue shirt, blue jeans and beige shorts.

He is originally from Saudi Arabia and was studying electrical engineering like his brother, Ahmad Alkadi said.

Anyone with information regarding his whereabouts was urged to call the LAPD’s Missing Persons Unit at (213) 996-1800.
