Search Underway After Ex-WWE Star Shotzi’s Brother Reported Missing Near San Francisco’s Fort Mason
Missing-person case centers on a Marina District area crash and sightings near Fort Mason
A search is underway in San Francisco for Dean “Deano” Urbanski, who was reported missing after a vehicle crash near Fort Mason in the Marina District. Authorities have circulated an image of Urbanski walking away from the crash area and urged anyone with information to contact investigators.
Urbanski is the brother of professional wrestler Ashley Urbanski, known publicly by the ring name Shotzi, who has also appealed for help locating him. Public statements from law enforcement and the family indicate concern that he may be disoriented and in need of medical care.
What is known so far
Investigators said Urbanski was involved in a crash near Fort Mason before he disappeared. A released image shows him walking in the area after the crash, and officials have described clothing details that may help the public recognize him, including that he was seen wearing only one brown/tan slipper at the time of the sighting.
Authorities also noted distinguishing physical identifiers, including neck tattoos, and provided a last-known direction of travel in the neighborhood. The last known sighting described by law enforcement places him walking toward Bay and Laguna streets, near the Marina District’s border with adjacent neighborhoods.
Person: Dean “Deano” Urbanski, 51
Last known area: Fort Mason/Marina District vicinity
Key detail: Seen walking after the crash; described as wearing only one slipper
Medical concerns highlighted by family and police
Police have indicated Urbanski may be experiencing a medical issue. In parallel, his sister has stated publicly that he is undergoing dialysis, a detail that has increased concern among family members and supporters because missed treatment can create serious health risks. Authorities have not released additional medical information beyond general concerns.
Authorities have asked the public to focus on recent sightings in and around the Marina District and the park areas near Fort Mason, and to report information directly to investigators.
How the public can help
Officials have encouraged anyone who sees Urbanski or believes they have relevant information—such as video, photos, or observations from the Fort Mason and Marina Green area around the time of the reported crash—to contact the investigating agency immediately. Police have emphasized the importance of calling authorities rather than attempting to intervene directly.
The case remains active, and investigators have not publicly provided an explanation for why Urbanski left the crash area or where he may have gone afterward. Searches and information-gathering efforts are continuing across the Marina District and nearby corridors where foot traffic could lead within minutes to adjacent neighborhoods and transit routes.
