At disappearance he was a Black man reported as either 52 or 58 years old, about 6 feet 0 inches to 6 feet 1 inch tall and 175 to 185 pounds. He had graying black hair worn in long dreadlocks below his shoulders and sometimes wore a goatee.

When last seen he was reportedly wearing a dark-colored jacket and jeans. There has been no contact since he was seen in Flint and the case is considered cold; the Flint Police Department lists the investigation as open and his information appears in national missing persons databases. Very little else is known, leaving family and the community with unanswered questions.

If anyone knew Jesse, saw him in Flint around the dates given, or has information that could help, please come forward.
