Ramsey County seeks ID for man found in Mississippi

The Ramsey County Medical Examiner’s Office is asking the public to help identify a man whose body was pulled from the Mississippi River near Harriet Island and the St. Paul Yacht Club on May 23, 2025, and who remains unnamed nearly a year later. Officials say the white male was between 5 feet 10 inches and 6 feet 2 inches tall, weighed at least 150 pounds, and was wearing black jeans, a black Reebok hoodie, and a distinctive red graphic T‑shirt reading, "None favor the warrior til the enemy is at the gates!" when he was found. Investigators believe he died at least four weeks before recovery and note he has surgical hardware in his right ankle and significant dental work, but serial numbers and existing records have not produced a match. The case and DNA profile have been entered into the National Missing and Unidentified Persons System under case number UP148173, and Ramsey County has assigned local case number 25-1653. Authorities are urging anyone who recognizes the clothing, the quote on the shirt, or the physical description to contact the medical examiner’s office, since every unidentified body means a family somewhere is still waiting for answers.
