  1. They put him on a t-shirt

  2. Knowing it was a Mexican you can assume it was a live affair… they breed em like employees seeking salvation in a country where they slaughter each other more and more… from fentanyl to road rages with no license or insurance….

  3. Thats how it works with everyone at that age hes 20 years old. The cops dont send out Amber alerts or do mass searches that quick.

  4. Prayer's for the family 🙏

  5. Five to ten minutes sounds like a drug deal, buying some pot. Otherwise, why not say where you're going?

  6. That's so heartbreaking and scary! Close to home, but a blood trail after finding lots in the car. I hope a huge search party is searching left and right in those woods and around to help them! Im so so so so so sorry for the family! Many PRAYERS for a return home!!! ✝✝

  7. Set up robbery and murder? As we enter our third world country status. People who bring their criminal culture with them, at least he left the government stipend to carry on for him

  8. why does it take so long to say his name?

  9. (1) Ran away from responsibility, being a dad and only 20 years old.🤔 … (2) Got wacked by criminals. Being a dude who knocked up a girl and broke her, I expect him to to dive into uncharted waters and get involved with criminals.

  10. These stories never end & each one deeply hurts me & breaks my heart to pieces

  11. I hope for his safely return.

  12. Praying for his safe return 🙏

  13. The family has to do the investigation theirselves. Sad.

  14. obviously everyone knows him as a cart plug, he for sure got set up and robbed gone wrong

  15. He looks like such a baby himself. Hoping he’s found safe and sound

  16. He dead… that just sounds bad. Sounds like he was meeting someone maybe for five minutes but then got jumped and taken away…. probably for some money 🙄 😢 so sorry

  17. Ohmygod. Please help find this dad!!! We need a miracle for this family!! For the love of God!!!

  18. Try his baby's mama's family they should be on the top of the suspect list. And go from there.

  19. 🙏🏽 Hoping for this young man’ recovery.
    I hope it wasn’t robbery, that he wasn’t plannin g to get a gift for his date from an unknown seller. 🤦🏽‍♀️

    Since VA police dropped the missing persons ball 🧐, hopefully they’ll be aggressive with searching local camera surveillance and searching his phone, bank account, and social media apps for recent communications with associates and phone pings. It def sounds like his quick run turned into bad business… likely by someone he was intentionally meeting up with. 😔
    🙏🏽 Expose it Lord!

  20. Because of how violent and bigoted they are, my first thought is that a MAGAt got him.

  21. 🕊 I hope he is found unharmed🕊

  22. Right before Christmas, didn't say where he was going but that he would be back in 10 minutes for dinner, was he meeting strangers from marketplace or craigslist to buy gifts and got robbed instead, I wonder

  23. He has kind eyes, the family are doing the polices job as usual. I hope he turns up in hospital safe!

  24. Family found car, why police can't find missing person car, police should give there pay check to Family, because Family is doing police job

  25. Prayers for his safe return 🙏🏻

  26. I’m no detective but being that it was before Christmas I would check his devices if possible. Could have been meeting someone to buy shoes, phone or laptop not knowing it was a setup. It happens.

  27. It will help the investigation if the family provides all information about this meeting the father went to.

  28. Idk, I'm just smh..but I believe because it was 8pm and he left abruptly saying he will be right back in 5 to 10 min..it seems to me he went to meet someone and was possibly set up and ambushed, because of the blood found in his car and the trail of blood leading from the car to the woods. It kinda seems like a hit!! I hope that it wasn't and they find him safe and alive!

  29. Prince William County is a very RACIST COUNTY

  30. I’m 25 and can’t even imagine having a kid right now.

  31. The police should have started a search in those woods smh
