Quamere Sincere Rogers, called Quatti, was a three-year-old who disappeared from Syracuse in late November 2008 (some records list December 1, 2008). He was described as about 2 feet 5 inches tall, 30 pounds, with black hair and brown eyes. At the time he went missing he was reportedly in the care of his mother’s partner, an older man named Damion Davis.

Quamere’s early life was unstable: his mother, a teenager when he was born in June 2005, fled an abusive household in 2006 or 2007 and left the child behind. She later told the Department of Social Services he was living with her, which proved inaccurate. Police say the disappearance was not reported until July 2009 after a tip that Davis knew the child’s whereabouts. Davis told investigators he had given the boy in July 2007 to a man he barely knew in Brooklyn, possibly connected to the United Nation of Moors, and that the child might have gone to Georgia; other evidence placed Quamere in Syracuse long after that claim.

A December 2008 stabbing linked to questions about Quamere and a 2011 DNA test showing Davis was not the boy’s biological father are among the case’s complicating details. Investigators now treat Quamere as a likely homicide victim, though his body has never been found. Does anyone have memories, records, or tips about Quamere’s last known locations or the people who cared for him in Syracuse?
