Anthony T.J. Mays II, 31, was found buried in a vacant lot in the Hough neighborhood of Cleveland on November 13, 2022. The body was located in the 1600 block of East 85th Street and the Cuyahoga County Medical Examiner ruled the death a homicide from gunshot wounds to the torso.

Mays had been reported missing after he failed to pick up his son on October 18, 2022. His last confirmed contacts were with family and friends on October 18, when he spoke about running errands. His car was seen later that night near Clark and West 25th Street, and neither he nor the vehicle were seen again until his body was recovered.

Authorities say the investigation is ongoing and no suspects have been identified. Family members describe Mays as a dedicated father and a go-getter who looked after his relatives, and they have criticized the police for what they view as limited communication. If anyone knew Anthony, saw his car after October 18, 2022, or has information about his disappearance or death, please come forward.
