Johnny Jermain Worthens Jr., 24, of Pahokee, Florida, was last seen on September 20, 2022. He may have been with a friend near Currie Park in West Palm Beach before he disappeared. His mother reported him missing two days later, saying he had never gone more than a day without contacting family. He has not been heard from since.

At the time he vanished Worthens was wearing a white t-shirt, blue, red, and grey pajama pants, and white sneakers. In March 2023 three local men were charged in connection with a fatal November 2022 shooting in Pahokee; the defendants were identified as Larry Dunnon, a relative of Worthens, and Thomas Murvin and Drake Hamilton, friends of Worthens. Authorities say the shooting grew out of a confrontation over rumors linking the victim to Worthens’s disappearance. Murvin was accidentally shot and paralyzed during the incident, and the unnamed victim died en route to hospital. Law enforcement has not said whether that victim was actually involved in Worthens’s disappearance.

The disappearance remains unsolved and the Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office is investigating. Does anyone with information about Worthens’s movements around September 20, 2022, or who saw him near Currie Park, have tips to share?
