Musician missing in San Francisco after band audition has been found
SAN FRANCISCO (KRON) — A musician who traveled to San Francisco to record music and audition for a band and was missing for one week, has been found, his family and friends said.
The musician vanished in the city on April 30. His brother said he traveled from North Carolina to San Francisco, went to a band audition playing the drums, and checked into a hotel in the Tenderloin neighborhood.
“He got a room at the Cathedral Hill Hotel, and I warned him to be careful because he was in a rough part of town. He has epilepsy and needs to take his medication every twelve hours,” the missing man’s friend, Mikel Ross, told KRON4.
The musician left his possessions and medication in his hotel room. He also missed his flight to return home. Staying out of touch with his family and missing a flight was “very unlike him,” his brother wrote on a GoFundMe page. “He has not returned to the hotel he was staying at to retrieve his things,” the page states.

However, an update on the GoFundMe page Tuesday indicated that the subject was no longer missing, although he wasn’t “exactly well.”
“He is under the care of professionals for the time being,” the update stated. According to an earlier update, the missing man was in a “dream like hallucinogenic state” due to being without his meds. He told friends and family his wallet and phone were taken from him at gunpoint.
