Las Vegas police are asking for help finding a missing 84-year-old man who walked away from a group home Saturday morning in the east valley.

He was last seen wearing a blue shirt, white capri-style pants and white rubber shoes, police said.
Metro asked hospitals to check their registries for adults matching Winkler’s description and to contact police immediately.
Anyone with information about his whereabouts is urged to contact Metro at 702-828-3111, or the department’s missing persons detail during business hours at 702-828-2907.
