Don’Tavia Bryant, 31, of Garrison, Texas, was reported missing after traveling to Bossier City, Louisiana, in late February 2023 to meet friends at the Margaritaville Casino. He last spoke to friends by phone around 4:00 a.m. on February 26, saying he had arrived and was looking for parking, but he never made it inside. A few days later his mother found his blue Hyundai Elantra still parked at the casino; he was officially reported missing on March 1, 2023.

At the time he disappeared he was described as a Black male, 5 feet 10 inches, about 180 pounds, with black hair and brown eyes. Distinct tattoos include Ja’Karia inside his right arm, the letters D and T on his other arm, words on his chest, and Miracle on his foot. He was last seen wearing a pink shirt, black pants, and a black jacket.

The morning he was last heard from, officers were responding to a 911 call about a suspicious person in the casino parking lot and encountered Don’Tavia. The caller reported seeing a white man with a gun, but officers encountered Don’Tavia, who ran. A foot chase followed and officers reportedly lost sight of him near the Red River.

Did anyone in the area see Don’Tavia around the casino or near the Red River that morning?
