PHOENIX — A Silver Alert for a 30-year-old Phoenix man with a cognitive condition was canceled after he was found safe, authorities said Sunday.

David Gonzalez has been reunited with his family, the Phoenix Police Department said.

The Silver Alert had been activated Friday, a day after Gonzalez went missing.

He’d last been seen near 19th Avenue and Heatherbrea Drive, north of Indian School Road. He was wearing a black Adidas shirt, blue shorts and black shoes.

Gonzalez is 5 feet, 8 inches tall and weighs 180 pounds, with black hair and brown eyes.

He has a condition that may cause him to have difficulty communicating and become easily confused.
