URGENT PLEA: Help Find Missing Detroit Teen Davontae Williams!

Imagine the fear, the gnawing anxiety – that's what Davontae Williams' family is living through right now. Detroit Police are sounding the alarm, reaching out to every corner of our community, hoping someone, anyone, has seen this young man. Davontae, just 17 years old, vanished on Tuesday, and every passing moment amplifies the concern, especially because he lives with medical conditions that demand regular medication.

Davontae was last seen around 11:00 a.m. on Tuesday, January 6th, near the 18000 block of Santa Barbara Street. For those familiar with Detroit, that's on the city's west side. He was wearing a black hooded sweatshirt and blue jeans. Now, let's really try to picture him, because those details could be absolutely vital: Davontae is described as about 5 feet, 8 inches tall, weighing roughly 140 pounds, with brown eyes and black hair. If you saw someone matching that description, even if you thought nothing of it at the time, please, let the police know.

His mother, understandably distraught and worried sick, told officers something incredibly important: Davontae has been diagnosed with bipolar disorder and ADHD. These aren't minor issues; they mean he absolutely requires medication to manage his health. What makes this disappearance even more alarming is that, according to his mom, Davontae has never, ever gone missing before. This isn't typical behavior for him, which truly underlines the urgency of bringing him home safely and quickly.

It’s a tough situation, no doubt. His family, his friends, the entire community, really, just wants to see him back home, safe and sound. So, if you have even the slightest bit of information, perhaps you saw him walking, or maybe he mentioned where he might go, please, don't hesitate. Contact the Detroit Police Department’s 12th Precinct directly at 313-596-1201. Or, if you prefer to remain anonymous, you can always call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-SPEAK-UP. Every single tip, no matter how small it seems, could be the piece of the puzzle that helps bring Davontae home. Let's pull together for Davontae.
