The Cañon City Police Department (CCPD) and the Colorado Bureau of Investigation (CBI) are searching for a 45-year old man who has gone missing under suspicious circumstances.
Shawn Michael Dixon Sr. (DOB: 9/22/1978) was last seen and heard from on 9/12/23. The last confirmed sighting of Mr. Dixon Sr. was in the area of Rudd Avenue and North 11th Street in Cañon City, Colorado at approximately 7 p.m. as he was getting out of a taxi near Rudd Park.
Mr. Dixon Sr. was supposed to meet his family later that evening at “Triangle Park” (near the intersection of Hazel Avenue and College Avenue) but did not arrive.
On March 15, 2024, the Cañon City Police Department (CCPD) worked diligently to exhaust all investigative leads, interviewed known associates and posted Mr. Dixon Sr. as missing on social media.
On March 15, 2024, after no new leads were generated and based on concerns on the part of Mr. Dixon Sr’s family, CCPD requested assistance from the Colorado Bureau of Investigation (CBI) on a missing person investigation after it was determined that Dixon Sr. might’ve been endangered at the time he disappeared.
"Cases involving missing adults who are also homeless are both troubling and difficult to investigate. Individuals in this segment of society are at risk of so many challenges out there, and they often move quite frequently, blend into their communities effectively, and actively avoid contact with law enforcement for a variety of reasons.
The fact that they often have no identification, bank accounts or credit cards, and known cell phones becomes an obstacle for law enforcement to track an individual. We’re hopeful by including CBI that we can determine Mr. Dixon’s location by expanding awareness in the extended communities and state resources," said Cañon City Police Chief John Schick.
