JAN 30

(WXYZ) — Detroit police say multiple Michigan agencies across jurisdictions are involved in the search for three men, believed to be associates, who were reported missing after a Detroit performance they were heading to was canceled on January 21.

The missing men are reported as Montoya Givens, 31; Armani Kelly, 28; and Dante Wicker, 31.

“It’s very extraordinary circumstances,” said Michael McGinnis, Commander of Major Crimes with the Detroit Police Department.

The car was found so the possibility of a car accident involving all three is a no go, correct?

Detroit Police say Kelly, 27; Montoya Givens, 31; and Dante Wicker, 31; are all associates who were supposed to go perform at a club in Detroit called Lounge 31. Police say at some point, the performance got cancelled.

Kelly’s mother tells 6 News she got a voicemail from him that said he made it down safely to Detroit at 5 p.m. on Jan. 21.

After that, there are a lot of questions, Detroit Police said.

Are the other men reported missing?
I know it's assumed they are.

Armani's arrest record - states he absconded from his parole on 1/24/23. I'm assuming this is because he's currently missing, and not because he's intentionally avoiding it.

Anyone know the street addresses for Huntington Apartments and Londonderry Condos?

Queens Ct. Warren,MI. Is where it’s located.

I know it's assumed they are.

On Jan. 27, it started being reported in the media that Kelly was missing, Detroit Police said. At that point, family members of Givens and Wicker figured out that Kelly was a friend of their loved ones, and they hadn’t seen them either. That’s when the other two men were reported missing.

wondering if the event they were invited to perform at was all a set up. Hate that my mind goes there when exploring possibilities.

Metro Detroit men, Oscoda man missing after canceled event

Three men who were scheduled to perform at a Detroit event Jan. 21 are missing after the event was canceled, and it isn't clear if they ever even made it to the city. Now police in multiple communities are looking for Armani Kelly, 38, Montoya Givens, 31, and Dante Wicker, 31.

Snipped...

...Police said Kelly's mother was able to use OnStar to track the vehicle he was driving to Warren, where it was recovered Jan. 23. Kelly is from Oscoda. Detroit police said Givens and Wicker are from Detroit and Melvindale, so those police departments are investigating along with DPD and Oscoda.

Oh noooo! That's not good at all. What the heck happened?

Noting:

Armani Kelly, 38, Montoya Givens, 31, and Dante Wicker, 31, are rappers who were slated to perform at Lounge 31 on 7 Mile near Gratiot on Jan. 21. However, the event was canceled.

"From there we just have a whole lot of unanswered questions that we’re trying to find the answer to," Detroit Police Cmdr. Michael McGinnis said. "The fact that the three of them are missing together is very concerning and very alarming for us."

McGinnis said a family member of one of the men believes they made it to the club before they disappeared, but police are still trying to confirm that. Phone records for all three men ended late Jan. 21 or early Jan. 22, police said.

(I'm going to report this post and ask that the other two are added to the thread title unless the mods think we should start two more threads.)

Voicemail at 5 pm and doors opened at 9 per the flyer on previous page. Hmmm.

Also noting:

On Monday, Kemp and Kelly’s fiancé, TP, came to Lansing to pass out flyers. It’s the place Kelly called home before serving eight years in prison.

“Something is just keeping my hope alive,” said TP. “I’m not gonna believe it until I see it. I won’t. I’m supposed to marry this man, and I won’t let him go until he’s gone.”

Detroit’s missing person homicide unit is now working the case.

“We will leverage all of our technology assets,” McGinnis said. “We’ve got license plate readers, we’ve got green light cameras, and I’m confident that using those tools, will help us.”

I'm not sure they all traveled together. Armani drove from Oscoda but where did the other two come from? Is there another car missing? MOO

ETA: Per this article, Dante is from Melvindale.

3 aspiring rappers headed to a Detroit club. They haven't been seen since

Armani Kelly, Dante Wicker and Montoya Givens have been missing since Jan. 21. Now their families want to know what happened after they headed to Detroit.

eu.detroitnews.com

The Saturday night of the Lounge show, Kelly told his fiancée the gig was canceled over an equipment issue, so he planned to link up with others. But texts, calls and Facebook messages went unanswered sometime after 7:30 p.m., she said.

With help from OnStar, Kemp tracked his 2017 Chevrolet Equinox to Warren.

It was eventually found muddy, without a license plate, at an apartment complex near Queens Court, Perrin said.

 

[JurassicParker]

They aren't from Detroit but surrounding areas? Could there been problems between cliques? Both sides met up at the venue and things went sideways? Or were they invited to a party since the event was canceled and the people they went to hang out with had bad intentions? I hope these guys are ok.

Aha, this answers my question. Thanks for the link, MrsWatson.

Noting:

Kelly, who performed under the alias Marley Whoop, was believed to have picked up Wicker and Givens before the show, according to a poster released by Missing in Michigan.

All three met in prison, Perrin said.

Authorities still are working to determine if the group ever reached the venue, McGinnis told reporters Monday. "At this point ... there's nothing to suggest they did."
