Mesa Police Search, Baseball Museum Opens, and New Projects Take Shape
Mesa, AZ – March 17, 2026 – Police search for a missing man, Mesa opens Arizona’s only baseball museum, and new business and campus projects move forward.
Mesa is seeing a mix of urgent public safety efforts and major community milestones this week, along with steady business growth across the city.
Search Underway for Missing Man
Mesa police are asking for the public’s help in locating Marcos Castillo-Luna, a non-verbal man with a medical condition that requires medication. Officers say his condition makes the situation especially urgent.
Authorities have shared his description and are urging anyone who may have seen him to contact law enforcement immediately. Community members are encouraged to check home security footage and nearby areas as the search continues.
Mesa Becomes Home to Arizona’s Only Baseball Museum
Just in time for the 2026 Cactus League season, Mesa officially opened Arizona’s only baseball museum. The new museum is housed inside the former Lehi Elementary School auditorium, transforming the historic space into a tribute to the state’s deep baseball roots.
The museum celebrates spring training history, local legends, and the long-standing connection between Mesa and America’s pastime. City leaders say it adds another cultural attraction for residents and visiting fans alike.
Business and Education Expansion
Economic development is also in focus. DSV recently broke ground on a massive 950,000-square-foot regional headquarters in Arizona, a project expected to support logistics growth and bring new jobs to the area.
In education, Phoenix Medical Assistant School announced it will open a new Mesa campus this spring, expanding access to hands-on healthcare training. The move is aimed at strengthening the local workforce pipeline in medical support roles.
Meanwhile, Desert Auto Works is drawing attention for raising service standards within Mesa’s automotive repair community, signaling continued investment in small business growth.
From public safety alerts to new cultural and economic investments, Mesa continues to balance immediate community needs with long-term development.
