Dontavia Vontra Bryant, 31 and from Garrison, Texas, was last seen in Bossier City, Louisiana, on February 26, 2023. He drove to the Margaritaville Casino and called friends around 4:00 a.m. to say he had arrived and was looking for parking. While near his car that morning, he was approached by Bossier City officers who were responding to a report of a suspicious person; Bryant ran and a foot chase followed. Officers lost sight of him near the Red River and he has not been seen or heard from since.

A few days later Bryant’s blue Hyundai Elantra was found still parked at the casino. He is described as a Black male, 5 feet 10 inches, about 180 pounds, with black hair and brown eyes. At the time he disappeared he was wearing a black jacket, pink shirt, black pants and colorful shoes, and had several tattoos including the letters D and T on his arms, Ja’Karia inside his right arm, words across his chest and Miracle on his foot. His family reported him missing on March 1, 2023, and say they do not believe he would voluntarily vanish; his mother has said she fears foul play. It is noted he faced drug and weapons charges in Texas at the time.

Does anyone have information about Dontavia’s movements in Bossier City around February 26, 2023, or about seeing him near the casino or the Red River that morning?
