Davante Marquez Richardson, 28, was last seen leaving his mother’s home on Mississippi Avenue Southeast in Washington D.C. on July 22, 2020, at about 11:00 p.m., driving a blue 2016 Jeep Compass (D.C. plate GD1855). He told a friend he was traveling to Cody, Wyoming, to meet rapper Kanye West, though he had no personal relationship with West.

On July 27, 2020, Richardson’s Jeep was found running and abandoned on a remote dirt road in Big Horn County, Wyoming, roughly 15 to 20 miles from West’s ranch in Greybull. His laptop and cell phones were inside the vehicle, but there was no sign of Richardson. Authorities interviewed West’s security team and found no evidence Richardson reached the ranch. A potential sighting on July 26 placed a man resembling Richardson at a gas station about 150 miles south of where the Jeep was located; a witness said the man got into the passenger seat while a white woman drove.

Richardson had been living with his mother after losing a grocery manager job to the COVID-19 pandemic and was working as an Uber driver and tattoo artist. His whereabouts remain unknown. If anyone has information about Davante Richardson’s movements in late July 2020 or the sighting described, please share what is known.
