Jessie Lamarr Johnson was 30 years old when he was last known to have contact on February 28, 2024, in Billings, Montana. Montana’s Missing Person Database lists him as a missing person investigated by the Billings Police Department, with the Montana Missing Persons Clearinghouse also asking anyone with information to contact law enforcement. The state listing identifies him as a male, American Indian or Alaska Native, with black hair and brown eyes, about 6 feet tall and 170 pounds.
Additional public case summaries identify Jessie as biracial, Black and Native American, and an enrolled member of the Crow Tribe of Montana. He has been associated with the aliases or nicknames Jesse Lamarr Johnson, Jessie Lamar Johnson, Suave, and Swavey. He was described as between 5 feet 11 inches and 6 feet 1 inch tall, weighing about 160 to 180 pounds, with black hair and brown eyes. Distinguishing marks include a tattoo on his forearm and a dollar-sign tattoo near his left eye.
Jessie was reportedly last seen after going to a local motel with friends in Billings, and his family has not heard from him since. The Charley Project states that he was wearing a blue hooded sweatshirt, white T-shirt, blue jeans, blue-and-white Nike shoes, and a gold chain necklace. It also reports that Jessie had epilepsy and did not have his needed medication with him, adding urgency and concern to his disappearance.
Public reporting has described the case as having become a homicide investigation, and The Charley Project states that authorities believe Jessie may have been the victim of a homicide. Authorities have indicated that his remains may be somewhere along the Pryor Creek drainage between Pryor and Huntley, Montana. As of the available public information, no charges had been filed, and the case remained unresolved.
Jessie’s loved ones have continued searching for answers and for a place where they can bring him home. KTVQ reported that family and friends searched near Pryor Creek in the Huntley area and that relatives were seeking closure while still hoping for more information from the public. His family described him with warmth and grief: someone who made people laugh, had a deep laugh, enjoyed humor, cared about people, and was working toward being present for his children.
Jessie left behind two young daughters, and his family’s public comments reflect the pain of not knowing exactly what happened while continuing to honor who he was as a person. Anyone with information is asked to contact the Billings Police Department or the Montana Missing Persons Clearinghouse.Last Seen: Feb 28, 2024
