Edmonton Police Service (EPS) is asking for the public's help in locating a man

**For Immediate Release: March 28, 2025, 3:00 PM** **MRU #: MP25R012** The Edmonton Police Service (EPS) is asking for the public's help in locating a man who was reported missing in central Edmonton earlier this week.

On Wednesday, March 26, 2025, at around 2 p.m., the police, along with Edmonton Fire Rescue Services (EFRS), responded to a report of a lone dog spotted on the ice of the North Saskatchewan River near Government House Park. Witnesses indicated that a male was seen walking along the riverbank with the dog prior to the animal being discovered alone. Upon investigation, police found an abandoned vehicle in a nearby parking lot, believed to belong to the missing man. Authorities suspect that while attempting to secure his dog, the man may have fallen through the ice of the North Saskatchewan River and are appealing to the public for any information that might aid in their search. Seyem Gaim, 31, is described as 5'8", weighing around 150 lbs, with a medium build. He has a bald head, a longer beard, and was last seen wearing jeans, a grey and white jacket, a backwards grey ballcap with a black rim, and dark shoes, as shown in the accompanying photo. Traditional methods of locating him have not been successful, prompting the EPS Missing Persons Unit to take charge of the case and release his image in hopes of finding him.

"We urge anyone with information regarding Mr. Gaim's whereabouts in these areas to contact us immediately." "With the return of winter conditions, navigating the city can be particularly hazardous. We remind all Edmontonians to stay alert, whether on the roads or near our waterways, as we await the arrival of warmer weather.
