Atlanta Doctoral Student Vanished While Celebrating Fourth of July; His Hot Boyfriend Is Person of Interest

Interesting.

Julian is indeed hot.

Messy, messy gays.

The hotter, caramel version of an old DL fave.

Thirty-one-year-old Atlanta resident Deundray Dominique Cottrell, who had previously been reported missing after visiting his sister in Birmingham, Alabama, has been found dead.

Cottrell’s sister, Angelica Harris, told AL dot com, an Alabama-based news outlet, that Cottrell arrived in Birmingham on Thursday along with Julian Morris, whom his family identified as a romantic partner, to celebrate the July 4th holiday. Harris said that at around 10 p.m., as fireworks were going off, Cottrell went inside to check on his dog.

“He went and checked on the dog and I never saw him again,” Harris said.

According to Harris, Morris told them that Cottrell took off running through the backyard, where they later found some of Cottrell’s belongings, including a shoe and his cell phone. The family reported that Morris had been acting erratically prior to Cottrell’s disappearance.

Footage from several nearby Ring cameras caught Cottrell running through yards and jumping over a gate. “It looked like he was looking for refuge,’’ Harris said. “He was running for his life.”

Just before 3 p.m. police on Saturday found Cottrell dead in the shed of a vacant house in Birmingham. As of Sunday, according to local NBC affiliate WVTM, Cottrell’s death was being treated as a homicide. Morris is a person of interest in the ongoing investigation, according to a press release from the Birmingham Police Department.

Apparently both were dancers at some point

He's Innocent!

Am I being dense or are these articles poorly written and making the situation confusing?

The victim and the boyfriend are attending a party at the victim’s sister’s house. The victim goes inside to check on the dog and then runs in fear through the neighborhood, jumping over fences and into other people’s backyards.

Why did he not run back out to the party? Why run away from the sister’s house instead of back to where they were watching the fireworks? The sister says the boyfriend was acting erratically, but where was he? At the party? In with the dog? (Is the dog ok???) When was the last time they saw the boyfriend?

How was the victim killed? It says he was found in shed on a different property, but no other details?

What am I missing here?

R8 Totally agree. The reportage is lacking at best.

I wonder if the boyfriend might be a victim, as well. I need to go back to the original article People has "cliff noted." I'd hope it's more clear than this distillation that leaves a lot of gaps.

Morris is a hunky pocket gay at 5’6”.

I agree that the victim could also be a victim as well. They found the first body in a random shed. Who’s to say that Morris’ body isn’t in a different random shed?

How do we know someone at the sister’s party didn’t try to attack both of them?

Julian Morris is hot. NOT GUILTY!

Huh??

PimEyes shows every image that exists of Julian on the web. He did pretty much everything but show dong. A lot of ass and pubes showing. Someone on Male General asked about him as a WeHo dancer. He modeled for every gay publication under the son.

I guess you could say, "He's a whore, darlin'."

Oh, dear!

Sit on my face please

Meh 😑

The dog probably killed Morris, hid the body under the floorboards, and was caught by Cottrell in the act, at which point it became necessary to silent the witness.

Oh, good material for a possible mini-series. I'll get to work right away on writing on a first draft.

Thanks for the latest info, R19. Will forward to my attorney.

I TOLD them I didn't do it; a cat would NEVER be that sloppy.

ATTICA! ATTICA! ATTICA! ATTICA!

ROTFLMAO r21!

Wait, so are they both dead?

Or just the one?

But what about the dog? Is he okay? Is it a rescue dog?

[Quote] “ He went and checked on the dog and I never saw him again,” Harris said.

HAS THE DOG ISSUED A STATEMENT???

Good God, the victim was hot as hell and pursuing his PhD too. What a shame.

Taken from an LSA poster, who saw it on Facebook. Messy.

[quote]UPDATE : Deundray Cottrell (Dre)-R.I.P ️ & Julian Morris (Adonis) turned into primary partners as in main lovers. DeEric after 14 years with Dre decided to step back becoming secondary as in the third lover position role in their very well known open polyamorous relationship they all happily named "Throuple". DeEric recently had a big falling out then split with Julian(Adoins ) &Dre, over "deep issues" hurting their relationships but they all lived together up until a week ago. This Whole situation, 3 families hurting ! Julian Morris (Adoins) he is still both missing & hiding ! Dre death has been officially ruled a Homicide on Sunday, July 7, 2024 by Birmingham Police

R27 Oh my, that is messy and delicious

I assume the third member of the throuple has a watertight alibi?

R2 He is dead for Christ sake. How is this different from any Frau likely killed by her husband or boyfriend or any person for that matter.

r30 obviously skipped over the messiness mentioned in r27's post. It happens. If you're a dumb blind whore like he is.

The third-party party boyfriend that everyone else is drooling over is so basic. Momma's Mussy remains dry. Facially, he reminds me of Bruno Mars, and his style of dress is horrific. I hope they catch him and give him a very lengthy sentence for those crimes of fashion. Doesn't anybody have any standards anymore? The bar is in hell. Finally, this whole situation just confirms for me that this whole 'thruple' trend is the worst idea the community has come up with since Poz Parties became popular. If the spark is truly gone, then it's best to separate rather than invite another character into the bedroom. I see the same outcome for Xavier Robitaille and the Bayne couple.

Has Antoine Dobson commented?

Were they dancers ,dancers? or Dancing for money dancers?

R34, see R6.

An attorney for Julian Morris has issued a statement:

"Currently grieving the death of a loved one, Mr. Morris wants answers as well, and is currently awaiting those answers..."

HA!

He's so fucking guilty.
