Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP96438) and 1 other source
Johnny Jermain Worthens Jr., a 24-year-old man, was last seen on September 20, 2022, in Pahokee, Florida. His disappearance is classified as suspicious, and it is believed that he may have been last spotted with a friend near Currie Park in West Palm Beach. Worthens' mother reported him missing two days later after he failed to make contact with his family, something highly unusual for him. He was last seen wearing a white t-shirt, blue, red, and gray pajama pants, and white sneakers. Worthens also has distinctive tattoos on both his hands and arms.

The investigation into his disappearance took a darker turn when, in November 2022, a local shooting occurred in Pahokee. Authorities believe that the shooting, in which one man was killed, may have been linked to rumors surrounding Worthens' disappearance. Three men, including a relative of Worthens, were charged in connection with the shooting. Although these individuals claimed the incident was drug-related, investigators suspect it was more closely tied to the mystery of Worthens' vanishing. Despite this development, there is still no confirmation about what happened to him, and his case remains unresolved. Authorities are continuing to seek public assistance in uncovering any new information.
