Police are trying to locate a San Jose man who was last seen two weeks ago.

Eric Dean Garcia, 32, also known as "Pee-Ka" was last seen at 11:45 p.m. on Sept. 18 near Vine and Goodyear streets.

Police said Garcia was at a party in the neighborhood when he received a phone call and told his friends he would be right back. He then took off on his motorcycle, a black 1985 FLT-model Harley Davidson, and didn't return.
