TMontez M. Hurt was 19 when he was last seen on February 1, 2024, in Kansas City after a series of alarming events that morning. He called his grandmother by video around 3:00 a.m. from an apartment, sounded scared and distressed, and said he thought he had been laced. Responders took him to Saint Luke’s Hospital for evaluation; family say a urine test did not show drugs. After discharge, a taxi took him to the Greyhound station at 1101 Troost Avenue, but the station was closed and he left his phone in the cab. Surveillance reportedly shows him trying to re-enter the taxi, failing, then walking south on Troost Avenue.

TMontez is described as a young Black man with black hair, brown eyes and a tattoo on his right arm, last seen wearing a royal blue Price Chopper polo and green or dark green sweatpants, possibly with black high-top Nike shoes. Family members say he had recently graduated high school, was working at a Price Chopper in Grain Valley, and had been trying to return to college. His grandmother and other relatives have been searching locally and asking for information. If anyone saw TMontez on Troost Avenue that day or has information about his movements after he was seen walking south, please come forward.
