Demetrius Branham, known to family as Black or Ponce, was 45 when he disappeared from New Jersey in June 2015. He was last seen by family on June 22, 2015, and later that day outside La Mirage on Route 1 in the Avenel section of Woodbridge. Witnesses say he got into the passenger side of a newer model Mazda 3—reported as black or blue, with tinted rear windows and after-market wheels—that already had a driver and left with a friend. His mother reported him missing to the Edison Police Department on June 30, 2015.

At the time he vanished he wore a red T-shirt, long denim shorts and sneakers. He is described as a Black male, six feet tall, 200 to 230 pounds, with brown eyes, black hair with some gray, and a tattoo reading black on his right upper arm. He was expected to return but never made contact, and his family has had no closure. If anyone saw Demetrius in Avenel on June 22, 2015, or remembers that Mazda 3, please share what you know with investigators.
