“We believe that Mr. Parker is in danger,” said Sgt. Terry Dixon. “We’re concerned for his welfare.”

Dixon wouldn’t explain the reason for the concern, only calling the disappearance ‘involuntary.’

What Parker was running from Sunday morning and what happened in those early hours is still unclear. Dixon said investigators are actively looking into the events of that morning, but wouldn’t reveal what they found.

Another young man last seen running away.

Police said Parker was last seen running from the 1500 block of Broadway Avenue NW around 3 a.m. Sunday.

Gray said he was with friends that night, but was anxious in the hours beforehand. She’s worried he ran into trouble with the group.

“I do believe that there was some altercation that went on, and that led Jamel to believe that he was in danger,” she said. “We don’t know — was he threatened? Did he get threatened to put him on that edge? He ran in terror.”

“His cell phone was turned off a little after the altercation,” she added.

The day after Parker disappeared, a shoe was found near the train tracks just blocks from the neighborhood where Parker was last seen. Police aren’t sure if it’s his — but the discovery prompted river searches by water and by air on Tuesday.

Those came up empty.

Family and friends returned to that same area Saturday, and expanded their search to cover several more miles on the city’s west side. Their efforts came up empty as well.

This isn't looking good. His prior history with the law makes me think this might not have a good ending. I hope I am wrong.
