I saw that, too. I’m thinking robbery gone bad.

He left for the auto shop store to pick up car parts in Gwinnett. He never made it and now he's missing

Leondre Flynt's brother is desperately trying to find him after he disappeared from his Loganville home on July 29.

www.11alive.com

LOGANVILLE, Ga. — The family of a missing 21-year-old Gwinnett County man is asking for the public's help after he vanished during what was supposed to be a routine trip to the auto parts store on Saturday.

Leondre Flynt disappeared on July 29 around 10:45 a.m. after he left his Loganville home along Carlton Cove Court to pick up a part he ordered off the internet for a car he's working on.

Flynt never made it to the parts store.

Two days later, Flynt's 2018 GMC Canyon pickup truck was found abandoned in Michigan.

His older brother, Anthony Lee, is now desperately trying to find his sibling. He was passing out flyers to bring attention to his brother's disappearance Wednesday.

Lee told 11Alive's Cody Alcorn that his brother had just bought his new truck three weeks ago and that it was his first big purchase that he was very excited about.

He finds it extremely unlikely that he would drive it out of state, park it randomly and abandon it. Lee said he and his brother share their phone location with each other, but Flynt's phone has been off since Saturday and he has not been able to track his location.

Lee said that he got in touch with OnStar to find out that his brother's pickup truck was abandoned in Michigan.

The Gwinnett County Police Department said Flynt is 5-foot-11 and weighs 140 pounds. He was last seen wearing a white sleeveless shirt, black jeans and red Jordan slides, although he may have a change of clothes on him, according to police.

His 2018 GMC Canyon is maroon and has a temporary tag number of P4682911. If anyone has seen Flynt or knows where he is, they are asked to call detectives at 770-513-5300 or Crime Stoppers at 404-577-8477.

Lee said he wants nothing more than to find his brother.

So apparently he wasn't actually picking up car parts? Or did they originally think he was, but learned he was doing something else after? I'm a little confused here.

Gwinnett man vanished 5 days ago after going to meet woman he met online, police say

alright the wording has been a little confusing between the articles.

for one, his vehicle has located in MI based on OnStars info but has not actually been recovered/found, if i’m reading correctly.

He hasn't missed a day of work in 3 years. Now a Gwinnett County man's disappearance is causing major concern

His 2018 GMC Canyon pickup truck was found abandoned in Michigan two days after he was last seen.

www.11alive.com

[...]

“For him not to contact anybody in the family -- that’s not like him at all,” said SW, a cousin of Flynt who said they are more like brothers.

SW added that it’s unusual for Flynt to go for days without reaching out to anyone in his family or his job.

He’s been at the same company for three years and he’s never missed a day at work," he said. "Him and his sister are very, very, very close if anybody at all, he would make sure he contacts his sister."

[...]

According to his family, he left his home on Carlton Cove Court in Loganville last Saturday around 10:45 in the morning to pick up a part he ordered for a car he's working on, but he never made it to the parts store. Two days later, his 2018 GMC Canyon pickup truck was found abandoned in Michigan.

And it isn't likely that he would abandon his truck. I'm very concerned for this young man.

Wow. so incredibly sad for this young man and his family. "The family led police to the location." - good for them! Sounds like they stayed on the trail and were pretty good detectives. Just crushed for the outcome they discovered.

Woman arrested for murder, disposing body of missing Gwinnett man: warrants

Leondre Flynt went missing on July 29 after he told family he left for a trip to pick up car parts at the auto shop.

www.11alive.com

A 20-year-old woman has been arrested and charged with murder after the months-long disappearance of a Gwinnett County man, documents show.

Destiny Stephens is also charged with concealing a death. Warrants indicate that two other people - another woman and a man -- are also connected to the crime.

and

As the investigation continued into Flynt's disappearance, the warrants state that police plugged in Flynt's pickup truck into the license plate reader and found out the truck had entered the Lowe's parking lot on Caroline Street NE in Atlanta. It was there that police found video surveillance of Stephens and the other woman mentioned in the warrant get out of Flynt's truck and go inside.

It was inside the store where they bought a handsaw and bolt cutters, according to the warrants. Later that night, doorbell camera footage captured the man mentioned in the warrant moving "bulk items on a furniture dolly" from the apartment unit in the direction of the elevators.
