Case Description

Any updates on this case? Let us know!
Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP50216) and 10 other sources
Jared Wayne Chavis, a 19-year-old from Houston, Texas, was last seen on January 12, 2018. That evening, Jared entered a black Ford Fusion or Focus with three other males near the 9100 block of Westheimer Road in Houston. Reports indicate that while in the car, an argument broke out, leading to gunshots being fired. Jared was never seen exiting the vehicle and has not been heard from since.

His car was later found abandoned at a nearby gated apartment complex, with the seat covers removed and the car unlocked. Jared had recently moved to Houston from Louisiana and was living with a cousin. He was working as a satellite dish installer while taking online college courses in information technology. Jared's family remains desperate for answers, especially as he has a son who was born shortly after his disappearance. Despite ongoing investigations, his case remains unsolved.
