A US actor has been found dead after being named as a suspect in a domestic violence investigation.
Cole Brings Plenty, who appeared in the Yellowstone spinoff series, 1923, was found in Kansas.
He was reported missing by his family earlier this week after he missed an appointment with his agent.
The 27-year-old’s body was discovered on Friday after local police were dispatched to examine an unoccupied vehicle.
The sheriff’s office in Johnson County announced the news in a statement shared on social media and said an investigation was ongoing. The Lawrence Kansas police department (LKPD) said they were providing a supporting role in the case and assisting the family.
On Tuesday, the LKPD identified the 1923 actor as a suspect in a domestic violence case in which they said they had “probable cause for his arrest”.
A statement said: “Officers responded to reports of a female screaming for help, but the suspect fled before officers arrived.
“The investigation identified Brings Plenty and traffic cameras showed him leaving the city immediately after the incident, travelling southbound on 59 Highway.
“This incident involves allegations of domestic violence, which limits the amount of information we can share to protect the victim.”
Posting on Instagram, actor Moses Brings Plenty, 54, confirmed the death of his nephew.
