DPD: 2 more men deemed missing along with Armani Kelly
(CBS DETROIT) - Detroit police confirmed that two other men last seen with 28-year-old Armani Kelly have also gone missing.
"In this case, the fact that the 3 of them are missing together is very concerning and very alarming for us," said Michael McGinnis, Commander of Major Crime, Detroit Police Department.
McGinnis said our story that aired on CBS Detroit with the mother of Armani Kelly on Jan. 27 is what prompted the families of Dante Wicker and Montoya Givens to file a missing persons report because the three men were all together on the night Kelly went missing.
Watch the previous story below:
CBS Detroit sat down with Kelly's mother, Lorrie Kemp, who is still desperately trying to figure out what happened to her son.
Kemp said her son, who just had a birthday, called her the night he went missing in Detroit on Saturday, Jan. 21.
"I try to be optimistic, but every day that goes by it gets worse and worse," Kemp said.
Detroit police said Kelly was supposed to perform at Lounge 31 in Detroit on Saturday night, but said the show was canceled.
Kelly is a rapper and was with Givens and Wicker that night, according to police.
After not hearing from Kelly for 24 hours, Kemp said she filed a police report in Oscoda where they live.
Kemp said she was disappointed with the lack of police work happening in the case so she drove to Detroit herself to search for her son.
Kemp said she drove more than 100 miles from the Standish area to figure out what happened. On Monday, Jan. 23, she said she began to pass out flyers near Lounge 31, and then tried to track his vehicle.
Then on Tuesday, Jan. 24, Kemp said she tracked the vehicle's locations using OnStar.
Three Warren locations turned up in the search, including Life Church, the Huntington Apartments and the Londonderry Condos.
According to Mcginnis, that's when Warren police joined the search. Mcginnis said the three men's cell phones were turned off on the night of the 21st.
The Warren Police Department now has possession of Kelly's vehicle is processing for evidence considering it was detected at the three locations after the men's phones went silent.
"I don't think my son is coming home alive… I just want his body so I can move on." she said.

"I don't know what else to do, I just want to take him home," Kemp said.
