Missing in Gallup: Where Is Devon Descheenie?
A Normal Afternoon Ends in Mystery
Missing person in New Mexico. Devon Descheenie, 22, had disappeared at May 28. The last sighting placed him at 2811 Dairy Drive around 4:22 p.m. He had been taken to detox, but what happened next remains unclear.
Who Is Devon Descheenie?
To many, Devon is more than a name. He’s a friend, a son, and a familiar face around town. Standing 5’8″ and weighing 138 pounds, he has black hair and brown eyes. His distinct tattoo — dice with the phrase “life is a gamble” — marks his right hand. In addition, he bears a scar on his left hand and another near his left eyebrow.
On the day he went missing, Devon wore a dark blue polo shirt with red and white stripes, gray sweatpants, and black shoes. Those close to him describe him as thoughtful, quiet, and deeply loyal. His absence leaves a painful void in the lives of those who care for him.
The Last Sighting
Witnesses last saw Devon at the detox center. After 4:22 p.m., however, he vanished. No surveillance footage has been released. No further sightings have been reported. Unfortunately, this silence deepens the mystery.
Although he may have walked away on his own, there are growing concerns. Did someone pick him up? Was he disoriented? Could something more serious have happened? These are the questions that haunt investigators and family members alike.
Every Detail Matters
Authorities urge the public not to overlook any information. Perhaps you drove by Dairy Drive that afternoon. Maybe you noticed someone walking who fit Devon’s description. Even a small observation could prove vital.
Importantly, sharing what you saw — no matter how insignificant it seems — could move the investigation forward. Time is critical in such cases.
How You Can Help
Anyone with information should act immediately. If you see Devon or know anything about his location, call Metro Dispatch at (505) 722-2002. You can also reach the Gallup Police Department at (505) 863-9365.
Besides calling, you can help by spreading awareness. Share his photo online. Print and post flyers. Talk to neighbors. Every action helps.
A Family Waits
Devon’s family hasn’t stopped hoping. Each day brings worry and unanswered questions. They watch the clock, waiting for a call that brings relief. The pain of uncertainty weighs heavily.
Despite the silence, support is growing. Flyers cover storefronts. Social media posts circulate his picture. Volunteers are asking questions and knocking on doors. The community is stepping up.
He Could Be Anywhere
Gallup has many quiet areas — alleys, fields, and wooded paths. Devon could be hiding, confused, or even hurt. He might be alone, unsure where to turn.
Therefore, stay alert. Look behind buildings, near fences, or around parks. If you see someone matching his description, approach with care. Offer help, and contact the police without delay.
The Clock Is Ticking
This search isn’t just about one young man. It’s about showing that every life matters. Gallup has a chance to stand united — and to make sure no one goes forgotten.
Let’s act before more time slips away. Together, we can bring Devon home.
