Surveillance footage showed Moore, known as L-J, inside the Aisle One gas station on Arena Boulevard that day, wearing a green shirt and black shorts. His family said visiting the store was part of his daily routine, but he never returned home on that day.  \u201cI\u2019m asking God to please come in and bring my baby home,\u201d Pamela Matthews, Moore\u2019s mother, said.   \u201cI just want him home. You know he can\u2019t just vanish. Nobody can just vanish off this world and there\u2019s no trace or anything,\u201d said Moore\u2019s sister, Tashay Price.  Sacramento police confirmed the case remains open but said there are no new updates. \u201cWhile there are no new updates in LJ\u2019s case at this time, we continue to ask anyone with any information regarding LJ\u2019s whereabouts to contact the Sacramento Police Department,\u201d the department said in a statement. Price expressed frustration with the investigation.\u201cI just want them to do their job, give our family the peace and the justice that we deserve,\u201d she said.  Johnny Tillis, his brother, described the situation as overwhelming.\u201cThis is like a nightmare that we cannot get out of our heads,\u201d he said.  Despite the lack of answers, Moore\u2019s family remains determined to find him. \u201cWe\u2019re still praying. We will not give up,\u201d Price said.  The family has suspected foul play in Moore\u2019s disappearance, but Sacramento police have not confirmed this in their investigation.  Anyone with information about Moore\u2019s whereabouts is urged to contact the Sacramento Police Department.See more coverage of top California stories here | Download our app | Subscribe to our morning newsletter | Find us on YouTube here and subscribe to our channel\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\tSACRAMENTO, Calif. \u2014 \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<p> The family of Lovett Moore Jr., a legally blind man <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kcra.com\/article\/family-sacramento-missing-disabled-man\/65342755\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">who disappeared from a Sacramento gas station <\/a>on June 28, 2025, gathered at the site one year later to pray and ask for the community\u2019s help in finding him.  <\/p>\n<p>Surveillance footage showed Moore, known as L-J, inside the Aisle One gas station on Arena Boulevard that day, wearing a green shirt and black shorts.
