Tyress Gipson, an 18-year-old from Jacksonville, Texas, was last seen on the evening of August 22, 2020. He had told his mother he was going out for the evening, possibly to attend a party in Palestine, Texas. His family grew concerned when he did not return home the next day, prompting them to report him missing. Tyress had just graduated from Jacksonville High School, where he was known for playing football and staying close to his family.
In the days following his disappearance, four individuals from Palestine, Texas—Derrick Hicks, Breonna Jimenez, Jermaryon Lane, and Cameron Shead—were arrested and charged with aggravated kidnapping. Authorities later upgraded charges against Shead to capital murder as they suspected foul play due to the circumstances surrounding Tyress’s disappearance. However, despite these arrests, Tyress has not been located, and his case remains unsolved. The suspects have not been cooperative, and his family continues to seek answers, offering a reward for any information that could lead to his whereabouts.
Tyress's family and friends have been relentless in their search for him, organizing searches and maintaining a strong presence on social media. The case has drawn significant attention in the local community, but despite ongoing efforts from law enforcement and volunteers, Tyress remains missing. The Jacksonville Police Department is still investigating, hoping for new leads to resolve this heartbreaking case.Last Seen: Aug 22, 2020
