Rasheem’s family said they are desperate to find their loved one. They also said it isn’t like him to go this long without communication. His mother said she is angry and heartbroken.

Rasheem’s mother said he called her in distress searching for help because he believed his life was in danger.

Taylorsville Police Chief Gabe Horton said Rasheem did ask officers for a ride to Laurel, but they were unable to give him one because the city was too far away from their jurisdiction.

Thank you.

I am trying to view it on my phone (android) and am not seeing the option to view all the posts so I think that's my issue. I will have to check on my computer at a later time. Thanks for responding.

 

[Bit of hope]

He seems to be still missing. Family talked on FB about a search organized on October 7 in Taylorsville from the last ping location!! to the super 8 motel. Really nothing about the ping location, the timeline in general or more details in MSM.

Who last saw him in the motel, at what time, when did he went to LE/called LE to ask for a ride to Laurel? Why did he needed a ride from them at all? Didn't he have money to take public transport/isn't there public transport? Was family/mother unable to get him even though he was obviously panicking and afraid? Could he have tried to get to Laurel by himself and something happened?

ETA: Why was he so afraid and thinking somebody was after him? Who was?

 

[Bit of hope]

I'm confused.

So Rasheem worked in Taylorsville (Jefferson County)? There is no Super 8 motel in Taylorsville. There is one in Laurel (Jones County). He asked the Taylorsville police to bring him to Laurel, to his motel? A different jurisdiction, but only a 29 minutes drive. How did Rasheem go to his job from Laurel to Taylorsville in the morning, or was this the first day? How was he supposed to go back there? Where was he when he called his mom? Where did his phone last ping? Media says Last seen? in the Super 8 motel, but that is in Laurel. Did the police physically see him, then he can be placed in Taylorsville at a certain time.

You see my problem?

This is awful news. Prayers for the family . According to his mother, on FB, he told her if he passed, he knew who would be responsible. I believe this was avoidable.

 

[vls12345]

Will they be investigating this as foul play or a murder?

 

[YaYa_521]

Rest in peace, Rasheem.

Will they be investigating this as foul play or a murder?

Well, they will surely have to if there are no signs of suicide.

That's sad news. RIP Rasheem. Condolences to his loves ones.

According to this news outlet

No malicious intent is suspected at this time, but the matter is still under investigation, the SCSD said.

Isn't that weird?

Taylorsville in is Smith county, where he was apparently found deceased. Please forgive me as I am just catching up with this case this morning. Laurel is in Jones county, just for geographical reference and is adjacent to Smith County. It sounds like he is originally from Fayette which is in Jefferson county and a good ways south and a long commute for work. I am wondering if he might have moved to Taylorsville or Laurel, which would make more sense to live in Laurel and commute to Taylorsville for work.

I am so sad that this handsome young man has been found deceased. I saw in the WJTV article (CBS affiliate out of Jackson, MS) has said that they found him due to a landowner having seen him on game cam footage. I wonder if he was trying to walk back to Laurel and became lost. I'm not sure of the exact location he was found in, but if he got out a certain ways from town it was likely so, so dark with no lighting on the roads. It is a very rural county as is the county that he is from, so I know he had to know and understand what it would be like if he chose to walk. This is just heartbreaking. Hopefully, the game
cam footage will reveal more clues about what happened and if anyone else was involved in Rasheem being where he was found. So sad for his family.

This is a very small town. There is no public transport in Mississippi unless you use a taxi service. It is a fairly rural state dotted with small towns in between a few small cities.

I did find a clarification in another news article about his employment. I sound as if he was staying at the Super 8 Motel in Laurel, which makes more sense because I don't think Taylorsville even has a Super 8. I think they may only have one motel. This is a small, small town. It sounds like he might have been having something stressful going on and was trying to get back to his motel in Laurel.My question is, who had he been contracted to work for Taylorsville?

He was last seen outside of a Super 8 Hotel on Oct. 2 in Laurel, a half hour from where he had been contracted to work in Taylorsville.

I think I have located the answer to my question, and yes, you are correct. Thank you.
He has been sent to the Miss. Crime lab for further examination. Hopefully an autopsy will reveal answers that we seek.
