The Detroit Police Department is actively searching for 40-year-old Devian Jones, who went missing on Sunday from his group home in the 15700 block of Westbrook Street. According to ClickOnDetroit, Jones was last seen wearing a blue baseball hat, a green shirt, and blue jeans. Concerns about his safety are heightened due to his mental illness.
Standing at 5 feet 7 inches and weighing roughly 150 pounds, Jones is described as having short black hair and brown eyes. The details of his disappearance are sparse, but the urgency in the appeals for public assistance hints at an all-too-familiar anxiety that grips a community when one of its members vanishes. The Detroit Police Department's Missing has taken to social media, sharing a post that manifests their commitment to Jones' safe return. "Please help us find missing Devian Jones. If you have any information, please call Detroit’s 8th Precinct at (313) 596-5840," read the post on the precinct's official Facebook page.
