SILVER CITY, N.M. — A Silver City firefighter is missing after failing to report for a scheduled shift on Sept. 22, according to the local firefighters’ union.

Probationary Firefighter Jamal Green was last spotted at the Snappy Mart on Swan Street near Silver Heights Boulevard at 9:39 p.m. on Sept. 21, wearing a white button-up shirt and a maroon beanie, KRQE reported.

“This is totally unlike him,” Fire Chief Milo Lamber told the Grant County Beat. “I’m afraid something bad has happened to him.”

On Sept. 21, a license plate reader captured Green’s truck heading westbound on I-10 in Benson, Arizona, though it’s unclear if he was in the vehicle.

The truck is a gray single-cab F-150 with a black New Mexico chile license plate, “BDAD16.” If you have any information on Green’s whereabouts, contact local law enforcement.
