Black and Missing
Navy vet Jarvis McIntyre, 26, reportedly found dead in Texas after telling 911 he was running from someone
Jarvis McIntyre, 26, was reportedly last seen running in John James Park on June 8 — and he was heard in a 911 call saying he was being chased by a “racist.”
The body of Navy veteran Jarvis McIntyre has been reportedly found in a Texas park after he was reported missing two weeks ago.
McIntyre, 26, was reportedly last seen running in John James Park on June 8 and he was heard in a 911 call saying he was being chased by a “racist”, his mother told local outlet KENS5.
McIntyre’s mother, Monikki Williams Tippet, told the outlet that a body found days later at the San Antonio park had tattoos resembling those on her missing son.
Tippet says she and her family believes someone hurt her son because he was Black and gay.
“I want answers now. I want this person found,” she said, adding that her son “didn’t deserve this. They took my baby’s life for no reason.”
McIntyre is from St. Louis, Texas and had flown to San Antonio to visit his two sisters during his birthday weekend.
He was supposed to return home on Sunday 9 June, but he tragically never made it home.
The family said they want the San Antonio Police Department to do more to help find the person responsible.
“They are treating this like a murder case,” Tippet said. “It is being treated like a murder case.”
Anyone who knows any information about this case is asked to contact the San Antonio Police Department at (210) 207-7660.
