Shannon Ray Jr., a 22-year-old Black man from Memphis, Tennessee, was last seen by family on his birthday, October 22, 2021. The circumstances of his disappearance are sparse and puzzling: he reportedly closed all his bank accounts and stopped using credit cards, which has made financial tracing difficult.

One of the last known transactions linked to him was at a gas station near Florence, Alabama, though the date is unclear. A security camera later recorded a ticket for disregarding a red light in Murfreesboro, Tennessee. He had worked as a painter, a trade that could allow for cash work and mobility without a strong digital trail.

These isolated leads sketch possible movements after he left Memphis but give no clear destination or explanation for his disappearance. If anyone knew Shannon, his routines, or saw him in October 2021 in Tennessee or northern Alabama, please share what you know.
