“Our officers received a call from friends and family of Jiare Schneider, who’s been missing from Forest Park,” Clayton County Police Department spokesperson Lt. Ricky Porter shared withFOX 5 Atlanta.

Family friend Germequa Bell told the local media outlet, “This morning, a group of us gathered, and we came out here, and we went to the woods … and there he was. We knew when he disappeared that something was up.”

PerThe Independent, citing police, Schneider — who was known online as @Big_Homie_TooTall on Instagram and TikTok — was last seen traveling the road where he died.

Schneider’s body was discovered inside a car aligning with the description of the silver Toyota 4Runner family members said he had borrowed from a friend for a night out at adult entertainment club Rumors, according to FOX 5 Atlanta.

“Preliminary investigation suggests the vehicle traveled westbound across Brown Road, through overgrowth and into a tree at the rear of the property,” police said, according to the press release.

When speaking with Fox 5 Atlanta, Porter noted that they “did find the vehicle deep in the woodlice, which indicates there was a fast speed approaching the intersection.”

According to the outlet, the wooded area is in close proximity to a “content house” loved ones believe Schneider had been before his death.

According to the outlet, Schneider is the dad of a young boy who had been diagnosed with a chromosomal disorder known as DiGeorge Syndrome. “His son, that’s all we can think about,” added Bell.

Schneider’s sister Jasnique Oliver had previously toldFOX 5 Atlantathat her brother hadn’t called his son in a few days, which she said was unusual for him.

The Clayton County Police Department posted news of Schneider’s disappearance onFacebookon Nov. 25.
