Colorado Man Missing Under Suspicious Circumstances

GRAND JUNCTION, Colo. (KJCT) - The Cañon City Police Department (CCPD) and the Colorado Bureau of Investigation (CBI) are searching for a 45-year old man who has gone missing under suspicious circumstances.

Shawn Michael Dixon Sr. was last seen and heard from on September 12th in 2023.The last confirmed sighting of Mr. Dixon Sr. was in the area of Rudd Avenue and North 11th Street in Cañon City, Colorado at approximately 7 p.m. as he was getting out of a taxi near Rudd Park.

Dixon Sr. was supposed to meet his family later that evening at “Triangle Park” (near the intersection of Hazel Avenue and College Avenue) but did not arrive.

On March 15th the CCPD exhausted all investigated leads, interviewed known associates, and posted Dixon Sr. as missing on social media platforms. With no new leads, the CCPD requested assistance from the Colorado Bureau of Investigation (CBI) on a missing person investigation after it was determined that Dixon Sr. might’ve been endangered at the time he disappeared.

“Cases involving missing adults who are also homeless are both troubling and difficult to investigate. Individuals in this segment of society are at risk of so many challenges out there, and they often move quite frequently, blend into their communities effectively, and actively avoid contact with law enforcement for a variety of reasons. The fact that they often have no identification, bank accounts or credit cards, and known cell phones becomes an obstacle for law enforcement to track an individual. We’re hopeful by including CBI that we can determine Mr. Dixon’s location by expanding awareness in the extended communities and state resources,” said Cañon City Police Chief John Schick.

Here is a description of Dixon Sr.:

46-year-old man with blue eyes and dark brown hair

Approximately 6′2″

Approximately 190 lbs.

He does wear contacts/glasses but was not believed to have them on at the time of disappearance.

Recent injury to the right ankle could be limping
