Mark Brown Jr., 34, was last seen by family on February 27, 2022, in Chicago’s Park Manor neighborhood. A father of three known as Mar’keyy, Key Key and Gutta Key, he is 6 feet tall, about 175 pounds, with long black dreadlocks, brown eyes, a short beard and mustache, and numerous face and neck tattoos. When last seen he wore a purple and black puffy coat with black fur around the collar, a navy-blue hooded jacket and ACG boots.

The day after he disappeared a call to his cell phone was reportedly answered by an unknown man who said the phone belonged to him; Mark has not been seen or heard from since. The Chicago Police Department classified the case as an endangered missing person and opened an investigation. Nearly two years later a tip suggested Mark might be deceased and his body left in the Auburn Park Lagoon, but that information has not been verified and the investigation remains open.

Anyone who knew Mark, saw him in late February 2022 in Park Manor or has information about the Auburn Park Lagoon tip is asked to come forward.
