A senior analyst with Goldman Sachs vanished over the weekend after attending a concert in New York City.

John Castic, a 27-year-old senior analyst at the investment bank, disappeared around 3:00 a.m. Saturday following a performance in Brooklyn by electronic music duo Zed’s Dead, according to the New York Police Department and social media posts from friends.

“Any information would be greatly appreciated, as well as sharing this to anyone in NYC that might have seen him,” Sara Kostecka, a friend of Castic’s, said in a Facebook post.  “I’m supposed to walk with him in my brother's wedding next week.. we just wanna find John.”

His last known location was about a half mile away from the concert venue. Castic’s phone died after he left and hasn’t turned on since, Jonah Shales, a friend of Castic’s told Fox News Digital.

“We’re absolutely very worried about him,” said Shales. “No one has had any contact with him.”

Castic joined Goldman Sachs one year ago, according to this LinkedIn profile. He graduated in 2020 from DePaul University with a bachelor’s degree.

Goldman Sachs did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

The Brooklyn Mirage had a maximum capacity of 6,000 people and is one of three event spaces housed in a complex called Avant Gardner. Avant Gardner has been accused by the New York State Liquor Authority of “rampant drug use” and has had numerous attendees die, according to Gothamist.

In June, another 27-year-old man, Karl Clemente, went missing after he was turned away from The Brooklyn Mirage at the door, the New York Post reported. Clemente was found dead days later.
