Gatineau, Quebec – Authorities are asking for the public's help finding Alain Kamuzinzi, a 40-year-old man last seen on June 2, 2026. The Service de police de la Ville de Gatineau (SPVG) reported his disappearance.
Kamuzinzi was last observed on Atawe Street in the Hull sector of Gatineau. He is described as 5’7” (170 cm) tall, weighing 190 lbs (86 kg), with a shaved head and a beard. He was reportedly wearing a navy blue short-sleeve cycling jersey, black cycling shorts, black cycling shoes, white socks, and a black helmet. He was riding a blue and black Trek road bike, outfitted with two water bottles. A potential last known location is Gatineau Park.
Those with any information regarding Kamuzinzi's whereabouts are encouraged to contact the SPVG directly at 819-246-0222.
Broader Context of Missing Persons
This case adds to a backdrop of ongoing concerns about missing individuals in Quebec.

National Picture of Missing Persons
Across Canada, missing persons cases represent a significant operational focus. Statistics from the RCMP indicate that anywhere from 70,000 to 80,000 people are reported missing annually. While most individuals are found within a week, the emotional toll on families and loved ones remains substantial. The National Missing Persons DNA Program is one initiative aimed at assisting in locating individuals.
Organized Crime and Regional Security Concerns
Separately, but within the same broader region, a large-scale police operation in Ottawa last November resulted in charges against 17 individuals connected to organized crime and drug trafficking. This bust, which involved around 150 charges spanning various offenses including attempted murder and weapons possession, underscores the complex security environment in the national capital region. While not directly linked to the Kamuzinzi disappearance, such broader investigations highlight the multi-faceted challenges faced by law enforcement in maintaining public safety.
