Columbia Police Seek Public’s Help in Search for Missing Man Maurice “Mo” Green

Columbia police are asking the community to assist in locating Maurice “Mo” Green, a 29-year-old man who went missing on July 13, 2025. Green was last seen at the Hot Spot on Farrow Road in Columbia, South Carolina, when he was wearing a white shirt and blue shorts.

Authorities indicate that Green is known to frequent the Broad River Road area, which may offer clues to his whereabouts. The police remind the public that any tips or information regarding his case can be reported anonymously to Crimestoppers by calling 1-888-CRIME-SC.

Investigation Status

Investigators from the Special Victims Unit are actively searching for Green, and they urge anyone with relevant information to come forward. This case highlights the ongoing concern for missing adults, a situation that can often be overlooked compared to missing children’s cases.

Related Missing Person Alert

In a related note, the Columbia Heights Police Department has issued a missing person alert for Antonio Timere Robinson, a 38-year-old man who has not been heard from in nearly two years. Robinson’s family has expressed deep concern for his safety since they have had no contact with him during this time.

Described as standing 6 feet 6 inches tall and weighing around 260 pounds, Robinson has black hair and brown eyes. The Columbia Heights Police have checked various databases in an effort to locate Robinson but have had no success. Community members who might have information about Robinson’s whereabouts can contact the Columbia Heights Police Department at 763-706-8147 or Anoka County Dispatch at 763-427-1212.

Community Support and Awareness

The urgency of locating both Green and Robinson demonstrates the vital role that community assistance plays in the search for missing people. High-profile cases of missing children often receive immediate attention, but adult disappearances are equally critical and require significant community involvement.

In recent months, Columbia experienced a drowning incident involving a man who went missing while attempting to recover property from the Columbia River. Such events amplify the need for awareness and vigilance within local neighborhoods to prevent further tragedies and to assist in finding missing individuals.

Background of the Cases

Maurice Green and Antonio Timere Robinson’s cases serve as reminders of the broader issue of missing adults and the importance of community cooperation. Each case is unique, and it is essential for the public to remain aware and informed about those who may need help during difficult times.

Conclusion

Columbia authorities hope that with the help of the public, they can locate both Maurice Green and Antonio Timere Robinson. Anyone with information can make a difference by coming forward through the provided channels. Engaging the community is a cornerstone of the investigation process in missing persons cases, and continued efforts are needed to ensure the safety of all members of the community.
