Pasco sheriff's deputies are looking for a missing deaf man who disappeared from his home Friday and has not been seen by family since. Olaniran Jegede, 32, left his home at 27203 Seabreeze Way in Wesley Chapel in a black Lincoln MKZ. Earlier that day, he'd been at the hospital and was treated for chest pains. He returned home and then vanished with the car, deputies said. Jegede is described as black, 180 pounds, 6-foot-3, with short, black hair, brown eyes and a tattoo of a basketball player on his right arm. He is completely deaf and cannot read lips.
