A 75-year-old Hesperia man suffering from dementia who went missing over the weekend has been found safe, officials said Thursday.
Ira Shepard disappeared about 11:30 a.m. Sunday after walking away from his family's home in the 8600 block of C Avenue in Hesperia, San Bernardino County Sheriff's Department officials said.
"Shepard's family revealed he may suffer from Alzheimer's and dementia, and he has a history of leaving his residence in the past," according to a missing person alert issued by the department.
The missing man was unfamiliar with the area, as he "still believes he lives in Los Angeles," according to the alert.
Sheriff's officials announced Thursday morning that Shepard had been found. No further details were available.
