Mickal Minter and I have never met face to face, but maybe once. I did not know him in person, but I feel like I have known him for years- because his mother, Ericka Minter, has been a close friend to me. I only know Mickal from stories told, through the eyes of a mother, with unconditional love for her child. We all have struggles in life, its kindness that gets us through them, this is what Ericka has taught me, just from watching her example as a mother, wife and grandmother.

We would always talk about the various personality traits of our children, by birth order- and Mickal was her FIRST BORN SON. The apple of her eye. The one that kept her on her toes. They had a close relationship, the kind where you tell each other- even the hardest things. That unconditional TOUGH LOVE. There is NO WAY that Mickal would not be in contact with his mother, Ericka, because she was his LIFELINE, always. Even when they would have words, it never lasted long. They always forgave each other and proceeded in their close relationship. Even when Mickal got into some trouble and ended up in jail, Ericka showed him tough, but unconditional love, by taking custody of his two sons when he was in need. See, Mickal moved to Texas, to get a new start in life. A sober life. To make new roots, where he could raise his two boys. He loved his children. And there is no way he would just disappear without reaching out to Ericka and the kids. SOMETHING ELSE HAPPENED. He has to be incapacitated by some means if he has not been heard from.

It's coming up on 4 months, with no investigation or attention given to the case. Everything that has been done to find Mickal has been privately done. He was last seen with his girlfriend, former big shot basketball star for the College Park Cavaliers, Candace Goady. She is refusing to answer any questions or participate in the investigation of Mickals case. They were together, on and off, for 2 years. You would think, that even if they broke up on bad terms, she would still want to know if he is ok. She always did before. Something is not right about that. Maybe it has something to do with the fact that her brother works for the Sheriff’s office. Or because her parents have money and work for the City school system... Someone needs to investigate her contacts, ex-boyfriend, in the Tango Gang. She was known to be irritable and volatile at times. She definitely has something to hide.

Mickal is being dismissed as a transient who does not deserve to be located. I assure you, that is not the case.
I was hoping we could get some help with this case-- the family does not have money, his mother has heart conditions and is raising his two young sons in his absence. His kids deserve answers, they miss video chatting with him.

I found his Namus page:

I noticed on your first link that it says he had left the hospital against physician’s advice.
I’m sorry for you and your friend feeling worried, ignored, and helpless in efforts to locate him.
Your friend is fortunate to have you helping her to get the word out about her beloved missing son. You should consider becoming a Verified Insider for his case so that you can freely discuss matters about him that don’t have a linkable source.

I know this case all too well. Hopefully we can get him and Ryan Hoskins out there since others won't. Thank you for allowing them to be posted!

Yes he did leave the hospital AMA right before Candace supposedly dropped him off, if she actually dropped him off.
 
I do have a question if we have a picture that was sent from a android phone to a iPhone and you look the information up on the picture, is that information where the picture was actually taken or received by the iPhone? And how appt on is the location of that information? Picture and photo information posted.

Hey, brand new to the forum. The information is longitude and latitude coordinates of where the photo is taken in the exif data.
 
I hope Mickal is somewhere safe tonight. This is a hard question to ask but I am confused about this (snipped by me) comment from the OP. I am wondering about this part "Even when Mickal got into some trouble and ended up in jail" - was that in reference to this October 5, 2022 arrest (only 22 days before going missing)?


If so, what was the outcome of the POSS CS PG 1/1-B<1G charge listed in his charges?
  • FAIL TO IDENTIFY GIVING FALSE/FICTITIOUS
  • POSS CS PG 1/1-B <1G
It's just that looking at that charge in Texas it shows jail confinement:

What does Poss CS PG 1 1-b mean in Texas?​

It means Possession of a Controlled Substance Penalty Group 1-b, which consists of fentanyl, alpha-methylfentanyl, and any other derivative of fentanyl.

What does PG1 mean?​

This abbreviation stands for Texas Drug Penalty Group 1. The Group 1 drugs carry the highest drug penalties. If you a conviction of possession it will be classified as a state jail felony.

How long do you go to jail for drug possession in Texas?​

That depends on what drug you possessed. This article is about Penalty Group 1 drugs, which are charged as a state jail felony. A state jail felony may include jail confinement of 180 days to 2 years.


Was he out on bail, were the charges reduced, etc.? Would those charges be why the GF does not seem to be cooperating (protecting him?)?
 
A few weeks ago I kept noticing a homeless guy over here in Pasadena. I was always driving when I saw him so all I saw was a relative body shape, skin color, facial hair and hair-do, but they did kind of look like Mickal. The last time I saw this homeless person was on January 30.

The first time I saw him he had an adolescent (probably 1 to 2 years old) Great Pyranees with him and he was sleeping under the bridge @ Fairmont & Beltway 8. I saw him again the next day and he was pushing a heavily laden shopping cart of belongings down Fairmont toward the Convention Center (in the actual road) with the dog. I passed him a second time that day on the bridge on Fairmont where it crosses over Armand Bayou and it looked like the dog's harness had broken and the young man was having a hard time keeping the dog from running into the road. I couldn't stop at the time but I returned later that afternoon and the next day with a spare harness and leash for the dog but I never could find him again.

I asked the neighborhood off Fairmont to notify me if they saw him again but no one has notified me and I haven't seen him since. There is reportedly a large homeless encampment located near Spencer Hwy & Space Center Blvd. If this guy is still in the area I would imagine he found his way there. If I see him again I will try to get a better look at his face and a pic. Does Mickal like dogs?

Mickal hasn’t had a dog since living in Texas.
