Here’s everything we know.
Etika who is a well-known gamer and YouTuber from Brooklyn is missing, police said. He was last heard from by phone on Wednesday, June 19, at 8 p.m. according to the NYPD.

June 19 wasn’t the first time that he has expressed suicidal thoughts, either, which might be a greater concern for those closest to him. Back in April of this year, Etika’s home door was broken down in order to check on his mental stability, after suggesting that he was going to take his own life.
Homophobic slurs also landed Etika in hot water with Twitch in October 2018, where he was banned from streaming on the platform.
Etika also has a history of concerning acts, too, he was detained for anti-semitic tweets back in April 2019 and was placed in a psychiatric ward of a hospital following an altercation with a police officer just a month previous.
