“This is still an ongoing investigation and updates will be given at a later date.”
Oddly enough, Lee took to TikTok back in January 2022 to tell his followers about a nightmare he had.
In the dream, Lee explained in the TikTok video shared on January 25, that a man attempted to “murder” him.
Lee, who goes by TikTok username TheJayLee, said he was imagining himself in an uncomfortable situation when a man tried to attack him.
The college student continued: “He decides to try to murder me.
“So, after fighting for my life … I wake up, go about my day.”
Nearly 400,000 people have viewed the footage, which has received hundreds of comments, including some who are calling the dream a “warning.”
One user wrote: “We have to pay attention to dreams, especially when we dream about ppl we don’t ever dream about… that was a warning.”
Another commented: “That dream was a warning & He did that love spell.
“Y’all pleaseeeeeeee don’t do those. You NEVER know the other persons intentions.”
“They haven’t pronounced him dead yall he’s still missing ????pray they find him for his family bless the other family as well,” a third added.
According to University Police, Lee was last seen driving a 2014 black Ford Fusion with a Mississippi license plate reading JAYLEE1.
Lee was last seen wearing a silver robe or house coat, a gold sleeping cap, and gray slippers.
Speaking to Mississippi Today, Lee’s sister Tayla Carey, said: “My little brother, he is the type of person, he’s not gonna leave the house unless he is 10/10. I’m talking his dress, his makeup,”
“He’s not gonna leave his house until he makes sure he looks good.
“For him to walk out the door in a house bonnet, a housecoat, and his slippers — that lets us know he was going to get coffee or he was going to meet someone that he trusted.”
Lee’s dad, Jimmie Lee Sr. is urging anyone with information regarding the whereabouts of his son to come forward.
In a video posted to the Oxford PD’s Facebook page, Lee Sr. expressed how “proud” he was of his son.
He insisted: “Doesn’t matter if you’re Black, white, green, polka dot … it doesn’t matter who you are. He was there to help if you sought the need.”
