Marlon Powell disappeared from East Point, Georgia, after he was last seen by family on October 9, 2019. He left the home on the 1900 block of Lexington Avenue saying he was going to get food and visit a friend; the friend later told family they did not know his whereabouts. Marlon was reported missing to the East Point Police Department on October 12.

At the time he vanished he was 23, about 6 feet 3 inches and 160 pounds, with a medium brown complexion, a high-top afro with faded sides, and a neck tattoo of his sister’s name Shaun. He was last seen wearing blue jeans and a dark-colored shirt. He worked at Krystal locations in the Metro Atlanta area and used MARTA or carpools for transportation; the Union City location where he worked had closed the day before he disappeared. Reports say he owed at least one person money and had recently received threats, and investigators consider foul play a probable factor.

Anyone who knew Marlon, saw him in East Point around October 9, 2019, or has information about his movements is asked to contact the East Point Police Department.
