The Burlington Police Department is investigating a missing man’s “suspicious disappearance.”

On Wednesday, Dec. 4, 28-year-old Aamari Daeshawn Eubanks was last seen driving a silver 2000 Toyota Avalon leaving the 100 block of Wilkins Road in Haw River heading west on US 70 toward Burlington.


*****
Lieutenant Lori Catoe with Burlington Police said on Dec. 5 someone who lives on Sharpe Road called them saying they found a car in the woods.

"We found some evidence in the vehicle that leads us to believe that there was some type of altercation that occurred in the vehicle," Catoe said. "No weapons in the vehicle. There was blood evidence that we found."

This led police to believe Aamari was assaulted and is in danger.

(There is more in this linked article. The PD says there is no reason to think that he was involved in any dangerous activities.)

*****


*****
Eubanks is described as a black male who is 5 feet and 7 inches tall and weighs around 190 pounds.

Police said he was last known to be wearing a black jacket with a bleach stain, black jogger pants and black and white Adidas tennis shoes.

*****

Alecia Eubanks says her son Aamari is an upstanding young man who minds his own business.

*****
Aamari Eubanks was last seen leaving the family’s residence and driving west on US-70 toward Burlington in a silver 2000 Toyota Avalon. The same car Alecia says Aamari took to his grandmother’s house about three miles down the road. He hasn’t been heard or seen from anyone since.

******


Aamari Eubanks is known as Shawn to his family.

*****
Alecia Eubanks says that nightmare started at her home on Wilkins road in Haw River on December 4th.

"Shawn was there with my mom. She said sent him three miles down my street to collect some mail that she had and he never made it."

*****
"I speak to a detective and they tell me that it's been an accident and my mom's car was found in the woods with blood everywhere, and whoever was in the a car needed immediate medical attention."

"I was shocked I couldn't believe it, because my son, he doesn't go an hour without telling me where he is and how he's doing.
 
Am I reading this correctly? He left the family home to go to grandmothers to collect mail for mom 3 miles away and during that time something happened? I wonder if this was a routine thing that he does and someone was waiting? Were they expecting mom instead? So many questions. Praying he is somewhere safe.

The way I read it was that his grandmother was at his home (in the article his mom says that her mom was there.) His grandmother asked him to go to her house (3 miles away) to pick up her mail. He left in his grandma's car and didn't return.
 
"The PD thinks there is no reason to believe he's involved in any dangerous activities" ???
In my opinion, his court history may have some believe otherwise.

I wonder if a relative of one of these minors was seeking revenge
 
After digging a little more, looks like Shawn—on top of the sex offense charges—was also arrested in 2018 in relation to a shooting. News article indicates he was responsible for shooting at an occupied home in Burlington. I also read that when he was charged with failing to register as a sex offender, the report/registry listed his address as a “Best Western—Homeless”, which is interesting. I can definitely see how someone might think this could have something to do with revenge for the sexual exploitation of a minor, but it seems Shawn was not *not* involved in questionable activity all around, while also experiencing housing instability—which can lead people to do things they may never have done.
I’m by no means a conspiracy theorist, and the truth is, Burlington seems to be rife with criminal, drug and gang activity, but thought it might be of note that the current suspicious missing report about Shawn indicates that his (grandma’s) vehicle was found in a wooded area off Sharpe Rd. A man—among many others—was arrested as part of a larger operation in 2019/2020 and identified as an active gang member and drug trafficker, and his last known address was right off Sharpe Rd on Ross St, which is also not far from Woodsman Dr. where a woman commented on mom’s (Alecia’s) Facebook page that LE had knocked on her door regarding this investigation. This indicates to me that the vehicle was found around this particular area and LE is looking for witnesses or home security cameras, most likely.

Not saying that this is related, but it did stand out to me. I would normally think it totally unrelated, but Shawn’s criminal history—specifically that involving the shooting back in 2018 at a house on a street that seems to be pretty busy with drug and criminal activity—it’s hard not to wonder about the connection.

Thank you so much for taking the time for that, my eyes were starting to cross after reviewing so many records and I didn't see the shooting one. I didn't see what record showed him as being homeless, all the ones I looked at had him living in apartments, but again, I likely missed that. Here is a summary of the "discharge weapon" case from the same judicial site link I linked in my last post His not registering likely explains why I didn't find him in the registry for the state. I have attached his sentencing document signed this year (from same linked court site) which clearly states he has to register as a sex offender. Again, thank you. . . . Grace

The Burlington Police Department announced Sunday that the reward for information leading to the location of missing 28-year-old Aamari Daeshawn Eubanks has risen to $5,000.


….

Through their investigation, the Burlington Police Department learned the car Aamari was driving — which held some concerning evidence — belonged to his grandmother.

The presence of blood led police to believe Aamari was assaulted and in danger.

"We found some evidence in the vehicle that leads us to believe that there was some type of altercation that occurred in the vehicle," Catoe said. "No weapons in the vehicle. There was blood evidence that we found ... We've searched that entire area to make sure that there's absolutely nothing that we've missed. We plan on doing more searches in the area once we can narrow down exactly the area that he traveled on the fourth to the fifth."
 
"The PD thinks there is no reason to believe he's involved in any dangerous activities" ???
In my opinion, his court history may have some believe otherwise.

Great research!
 

“I do know that he was supposed to be going 3 miles from here to get my mom’s mail, and from what I’m told he never made it,” Eubanks said.

Then, just a day after vanishing, someone found his grandma's car, which is what he was last seen driving on Ross Street abandoned with blood in it. Alecia said it added another piece to his puzzling disappearance.

Police said they believe someone might have attacked him. They’re still searching for Eubanks and have boosted the reward money to $5,000.
 

Newly obtained 911 calls provide a glimpse into the moment his abandoned car was found with blood inside.


A 911 caller described the scene:
“My brother-in-law tells me he heard some shooting yesterday at night … the driver's window is broken. It has blood in the back, like in the back wheel, and inside, they have a lot of blood too.”

The call, recently obtained by WFMY, came from a neighbor who discovered Eubanks' car. The vehicle was found abandoned behind North Park in Burlington, with shattered glass and blood inside.
