HOUSTON — A Houston family is pleading for help finding their loved one, who they say disappeared while traveling to Houston.
Kawika Grant was last seen on May 31 after boarding a Greyhound bus in San Bernardino, California. He was scheduled to arrive in Houston on June 1, but his family says he never made it.
“We waited for the next bus. We waited all day. He never showed up,” said Arthur Bolton, Grant’s cousin.
Grant had recently been released from a behavioral health facility in California. Because he lacked a Real ID, he couldn’t board a plane. His family purchased him a Greyhound ticket instead.
They said Grant has limited mobility after suffering a stroke and also struggles with bipolar disorder and schizophrenia. These health concerns have only heightened the family’s fear for his safety.
“You feel guilty,” said Winona Powell, Grant’s aunt. “You know, when you’re doing your normal things. Then it’s raining and you’re wondering if he is in the rain. You know, where is he?”
The family said they’ve searched bus stops in Dallas and El Paso.
“7/11’s, McDonald’s, anywhere a homeless person would be. I talked to homeless people myself. I showed them his picture. No one has seen him,” Boltson said.
In El Paso, a stranger let Grant call home — the last time family heard from him. The family traveled to El Paso to file a missing person’s report, but no leads so far.
Bolton said the family has reached out to Greyhound, asking to review station security footage, but claims the company has not been cooperative.
“We’re on a wild goose chase,” he said. “We’ve looked all the way from El Paso and every stop in between, calling every convenience store and every community.”
The family is distributing flyers and urging anyone with information to contact Houston police or their local authorities.
“Kawika Grant has a family and we’re waiting for him to come home,” Bolton said.
KHOU 11 News reached out to El Paso police, Greyhound and Precinct 6. Only Precinct 6 responded, saying they have no updates at this time.
