Missing Person - Request for Public Assistance
The Claremont Police Department is seeking the public’s assistance in locating a long-term missing person, Ruben Moreno. Ruben Moreno was 41 years old at the time of his disappearance and had a last known address in Perris, California. He was reported missing by a family member in August 2019. He was last seen at a residence in the 3900 block of Swarthmore Court in Claremont, where members of His Way Spirit Led Assemblies, a religious organization, previously gathered. There have been developments in the case this week; however, it remains an active investigation. Anyone with information regarding Ruben Moreno's whereabouts is urged to contact the Claremont Police Department at (909) 399-5411.
