HOUSTON — The family of a Houston mechanic who's been missing for nearly two weeks is pleading for the community's help.

Joseph Lynn Leviege, 66, hasn't been seen since Jan. 14. Houston police said a missing person's report was filed on Leviege's behalf.

His older sister told police she last saw him leaving for work wearing jeans and a gray T-shirt. The owner of the shop Leviege works at said he left his things out, but that he wasn't seen at their Almeda Genoa Road location.

A block away from his job, police said they found Leviege's Pontiac in the middle of Weber Crest Road with a broken steering column. Concerned with the discovery, family members started searching nearby ditches and other places, but had no luck finding him.

Leviege is described as a Black man standing 5 feet 9 inches tall and weighing 150 pounds. He also has brown eyes and is bald.

Anyone with information on Leviege is asked to contact the Houston Police Department.
