Sparks police seek public’s help locating man and infant daughter for welfare check amid mental health concerns


Sparks Police Department officers are attempting to find a missing man and his 9-month-old daughter for a welfare check.

Jacob Hoffman and Aummua Hoffman were last seen around 6 p.m. on Nov. 14 when Jacob left with Aummua in a white 2017 Ford Fusion. Jacob is Aummua’s biological father. Authorities say that in the last week, Jacob has become paranoid and delusional and is having hallucinations.

The vehicle that Jacob and Ammua left in is a white 2017 Ford Fusion 4D, Nevada license plate number 63A855. It is unknown where they were headed.

The vehicle has dark tinted rear windows, minor damage to both rear fenders and two bumper stickers. One sticker is a butterfly that says “Reno” and the other is an Earth sticker with “Hippie Mama” written in it.

Jacob was last seen wearing an unknown color tank top and multi-color cut-off shorts with black shoes. It is possible he will be sweating profusely due to his medical condition. Aummua was last seen wearing a pink outfit with Minnie Mouse on it.

Authorities say there is no information to indicate that Jacob intends to harm Aummua and the priority is to locate both and check on their welfare.
