The 3 Missing Detroit Rappers Have Reportedly Been Found Dead

Detroit police have found the bodies of the three missing rappers six miles from the city. The emerging artists have been missing for two weeks after a canceled performance and halted phone activity.

The three Detroit rappers– Armani Kelly, Dante Wicker, and Montaya Givens — missing for two weeks were found dead by local authorities on the morning of Feb.  3. Michigan State Police said they were found in an abandoned apartment swarming with rats in Highland Park. By press time, Detroit police did not verify if the bodies found were those of the male rappers.

Michigan police were first aware of their disappearance after Armani’s mother, Lorrie Kemp, reported him missing on January 23. Due to the dilapidated condition of the building where the three men were found, the processing of evidence has been slowed down.

Investigators Have No Leads In The Disappearance Of 3 Detroit Rappers

Three Detroit rappers, Armani Kelly, Dante Wicker, and Montoya Givens went missing after a cancellation of a show at a local club in Detroit. Police have launched a multi-agency investigation.

Three Detroit rappers, Montoya Givens, Armani Kelly, and Dante Wicker, were missing since Jan. 21. Initially, according to media reports, the rappers had a show at local venue, Lounge 31, but it was later canceled.

Kelly last checked in with his mother, Lorrie Kemp, on Jan. 21 around 5 pm. Kemp later filed the missing persons report on Jan. 22. On Jan. 23, Kemp tracked her vehicle through OnStar, and it was found in Warren, Michigan. Still, no signs of Kelly or his comrades, Givens and Wicker.

Statements from Armani Kelly’s Mom And Detroit Police Department

Detroit Police Cmdr. Michael McGinnis told reporters the DPD had launched a multi-agency investigation on the rappers’ disappearance. 

“It’s our understanding that the performance got canceled,” McGinnis told reporters. “And from there we just have a whole lot of unanswered questions that we are trying to figure out.

McGinnis added, “The mother of one of the victims, the next day, made a report of the missing person. That mother, [Kemp], became very proactive in the investigation and started searching for her vehicle through OnStar.”

According to McGinnis, all of their phones ceased activity by the early morning of Jan. 22.

Kemp has posted flyers in the Lansing area to find her 28-year-old son. She also told reporters she didn’t think her son was alive. 

“I want to lay him to rest and try to move on,” Kemp said. “I don’t want to be on ‘Dateline’ in 20 years to find his body.”
