Near Luella Street in Lawrenceville -- a neighborhood in Pittsburgh -- Andre Gray's car was found partially burned out. According to earlier reports, police didn't know when Gray went missing and wouldn't go into any more detail.

"That's all part of the investigation and certain details like that are important not to put out. It could jeopardize the integrity of the investigation and prosecution," a spokesperson for the police department told CBS Pittsburgh on Sunday.

Often calling his mother every other day, Gray's mother grew worried when she didn't hear from him, according to the station. When Victoria Gray Tillman went inside his home using a spare key, what she found was disturbing.

"There was blood on the floor, there was bleach, odor of bleach, duct tape," she told reporters on Sunday. "His place was ransacked, his big screen TV was stolen out of his bedroom, his two laptops were missing."

The family believes someone may be using Gray's cellphone to access his Facebook account. His stepsister wrote on his wall: "This can not be the ending for your story, amen."

Gray's family also said that his dog was missing.

Anyone with information is asked to call the Pittsburgh Police Department at (412)-323-7141.
