LeWayne Etcitty, a 21-year-old Navajo man, was last seen on August 16, 2013, in Shiprock, New Mexico. He was spotted around 3:00 p.m. in a dark green four-door vehicle with tinted windows, accompanied by two male companions. At the time of his disappearance, LeWayne was wearing a gray t-shirt, black denim shorts, and black Jordans. He is described as standing 5'9" tall and weighing around 260 pounds.
Distinctive features include a tattoo of his initials, "LE," on his left hand near his thumb.
The last known location associated with LeWayne was in the Gadii'ahi or Rattlesnake area near Shiprock. Despite searches and inquiries, no further trace of him has been found, and the details surrounding his disappearance remain unclear. LeWayne’s case has drawn attention due to the limited information available and the ongoing concerns regarding missing Indigenous individuals in the region.
Authorities, including the Shiprock Police Department, continue to investigate the case, though it remains unsolved after more than a decade. The lack of concrete leads has led to appeals from both law enforcement and family for anyone with information to come forward. His case is one among many that highlight the challenges in resolving missing persons cases within Indigenous communities.Last Seen: Aug 16, 2013
