COMMUNITY ALERT | STILL MISSING. Rahman Dustin Ali Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

BLXCR Editorial Note: This is not something to scroll past. Rahman Dustin Ali is missing, and what happens next depends on us. When someone from our community disappears, it becomes a shared responsibility—not just a family’s burden.

We must want for our brothers and sisters what we would want for ourselves. If this were your loved one, you would hope people would pause, pay attention, and speak up. Please take a moment. Stay alert. Share this information. Help us find Rahman Dustin Ali.

According to his family and those close to him, this is not a disappearance that fits the life of the man it involves. Rahman Dustin Ali is a man known for structure, consistency, and faith. A devoted father. A dependable son. A business owner who worked hard and stayed connected to his community. Nothing about his character or routine suggests that he chose to walk away from his life.

It has now been over 50 days since Rahman was last seen, and the absence has left his family searching for answers that still have not come.

Rahman was last observed on December 21, 2025, and since that day, his disappearance has raised serious concern due to the circumstances surrounding what he left behind.

When family members checked on his home, they found the front door unlocked. His keys were inside. His phone, clothing, shoes, and personal belongings were untouched. His dog was still there. There were no signs of preparation, no packed items, and no indication that he intended to leave.

Phone records later showed activity near Cobbs Creek, after which the device powered off and has remained silent.

Rahman is 48 years old, approximately 5’8”, and weighs around 170 pounds. He has multiple tattoos, including the words “RUN CLUB 1934 SAFA & MARWA” on his left shoulder, along with tattoos on his chest, arms, abdomen, and forearms. At the time he went missing, he may have been wearing a blue jacket and blue jeans.

Those closest to Rahman describe his disappearance as completely out of character. He maintained regular contact with his family, especially his daughter. Just days before he went missing, Rahman proudly attended her college graduation. They were actively discussing her future—marriage, law school, and the next chapter of her life.

During this painful and uncertain period, the family has expressed deep appreciation for the support they have received from the community. In their words:

“Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for the overwhelming support, emails, calls, and prayers for our missing brother, Rahman Dustin Ali.”

That gratitude does not replace the urgency of the situation. It underscores it.

There is currently a $10,000 reward being offered for information leading to Rahman’s location. However, the family has made clear that this is not about financial incentive. Their focus remains on answers, clarity, and the safe return of their loved one.

Family members believe that someone may have seen Rahman, spoken to him, or crossed his path—perhaps without realizing the importance of what they witnessed. A detail that feels minor could be the key to moving this case forward.

Anyone with information is urged to contact:

Philadelphia Police Central Detectives 215-686-3093 or 215-686-3182

Detective Farley 267-764-7921

If the situation requires immediate attention, please call 911.

This is a call to remain alert, to speak up, and to continue sharing Rahman’s name and story. Missing persons cases depend on visibility, community awareness, and the willingness of people to come forward.

Rahman Dustin Ali is still missing. His family is still waiting. And the community’s voice may be what brings answers.

BLXCR Editorial Closing Note

There was a time when mainstream media decided which missing persons stories were amplified—and too often, the disappearances of Black men, women, and children were overlooked. Today, that reality no longer has to define us.

Through social media and community sharing, we now hold the power to change that narrative. Awareness no longer depends on permission—it depends on participation. One share, one repost, one conversation can bring attention to a family’s plea that might otherwise go unheard.

This is what it means to be our brother’s and sister’s keeper.

Let this moment remind us to stay vigilant, to look out for one another, and to make it a habit to uplift missing persons cases within our community. We have the tools. We have the reach. And we have the responsibility.

We can be the difference. If you know something, say something. Help bring our brother home.
