Leon Edward Davenport, 37, was last seen at midday on February 19, 2009, in the 4600 block of Jay Street NE in Washington, D.C., after a heated argument with the mother of his unborn child prompted a police call. Davenport left the scene driving a leased silver 2008 Mazda 5 truck with Maryland plates MWZ-183; officers pursued but broke off the chase when he crossed into Maryland. His vehicle was later found in Virginia with no evidence of foul play, and he has not been seen or heard from since.

Davenport was expecting a daughter the day after he disappeared and had a young son with special needs whom he saw daily. A studio engineer who performed with local rap group C-Ban, he was described as quiet and reserved, and friends and family say leaving without notice would have been uncharacteristic. The case remains unsolved and his mother, Vernea Boone, continues to hope for his return.

If anyone knew Leon’s routines, places he frequented, or saw that Mazda 5 in February 2009, can you share what you know?
