Not to be disrespectful, but how far could he have gotten? Is there a homeless encampment nearby that he could have disappeared into? I’m assuming this is near a bus route, have they checked with bus drivers? Uber or taxi drivers?

Still missing. I wonder if he's using a standard wheelchair or if it's powered? Seems like that would make a difference in how far he's traveled. Could he have run out of power somewhere?
