David Ryo Miyamoto, 30, was last heard from via social media on January 30, 2023, and was reported missing after friends and family could not reach him. He was known for daily communication, so his sudden silence prompted a welfare check by Kannapolis Police on February 2, 2023. Officers were initially unable to contact him; a later check with building management gaining access found his apartment still furnished with his personal belongings but no sign of David.

At the time he went missing he is believed to have been driving a white 2020 Hyundai Ioniq Limited sedan with North Carolina plate JCC-4525, a detail public appeals have emphasized. David is described as an Asian male, 5 feet 7 inches to 5 feet 9 inches tall, 130 to 140 pounds, with black hair and brown eyes. He has extensive full front and back torso tattooing described as tribal and Japanese-style imagery, including a beaded necklace near his collarbone, a large dragon on his stomach, a tiger head on his upper left chest, and a large dragon on his back.

The case remains open and investigators are asking for the public’s help. If anyone has seen David, his vehicle, or has information about his whereabouts, please come forward. What information can readers share that might help locate David?
