Update: 2 p.m. Tuesday, March 5: A San Jose man who was reported missing after disappearing on Sunday night has been found and is home safe, police said today.
Hipolito Canseco, 53, who lives on Vine Street, had last been seen at about 9 p.m. Sunday.
Police said Canseco was considered at-risk because, according to his family, he suffered a head injury when he was 10 years old and as a result, his mental capacity is that of a 10-year-old.
There was also concern because Canseco has a history of seizures and only speaks Spanish, police said.
At about 8:45 a.m. today, police received a report that a man matching Canseco's description had been spotted in the area of Capitol Expressway and state Highway 87.
Detective Alfonso Rodriguez of the Police Department's missing-persons unit went to that area and located Canseco, police said.
