'1923' Star Cole Brings Plenty, Suspect In Domestic Violence Case, Found Dead

Cole Brings Plenty, known for his role in '1923', was found dead after he was named a suspect in a domestic violence case.

The 27-year-old, who is the nephew of 'Yellowstone' star Mo Brings Plenty, was first reported missing on April 2 after he was last seen on Sunday evening in a white Ford Explorer.

Mo, 54, shared a missing persons poster of his nephew on his social media page. Just hours after the poster hit the internet, the Lawrence Police Department named Cole as a suspect in an incident that "involves allegations of domestic violence."

According to the release, police "reports of a female screaming for help, but the suspect fled before officers arrived." After an initial investigation, police identified Brings Plenty as the suspect as "traffic cameras showed him leaving the city immediately after the incident, traveling southbound on 59 Highway."

After identifying him as the suspect, police said they "have probable cause for his arrest, and issued an alert to area agencies."

"This incident involves allegations of domestic violence, which limits the amount of information we can share to protect the victim," police said.

After sharing the missing persons poster twice, Cole's uncle, Mo, shared another update.

"Despite our persistent efforts, we have been unable to establish contact with Cole, and our immediate concern is his safety and well-being. Cole's sudden disappearance without telling anyone his whereabouts is anomalous, causing a wave of concern spreading rapidly across the nation and parts of Canada," Mo captioned a later Instagram post.

Adding, "It has been suggested that Cole is on the run, but there is no evidence to support this claim, and we urge everyone to refrain from making unfounded speculations. It's important to let the legal system determine truth and justice. Assigning guilt because someone hasn't been found is not the due process to which each of us has a right."

The Johnson County Sheriff's Office confirmed that Brings Plenty's body was discovered in a rural area of Kansas on Friday, April 5 at around 11:45 a.m. The police searched the area after they received reports about an unoccupied car.

"Deputies checked the area and discovered a deceased male in a wooded area away from the vehicle," the sheriff's office wrote in the release. "The deceased male has been identified as Cole Brings Plenty, 27."

After learning of the discovery, fans flooded social media to share their condolences. "Sad news. I was hoping this would not be the case after learning that he was missing," one X user wrote.

"Heartbroken for Mo and his family," another said.

"This is so sad. Prayers to his family," one X user wrote after learning the news as another expressed, "Heartbroken to hear of Cole's passing. Sending love & strength to all who knew him."

The AWARE Foundation released a statement after Brings Plenty's body was found: "Unfortunately, we have some tragic news to share. Cole Brings Plenty has been found deceased. Please keep his family in your thoughts and prayers. Thanks again for sharing."

Many other users continued to share the news to X, the social media platform formerly known as Twitter. "Prayers up, Cole Brings Plenty has walked on," one user said.

"The passing of Cole Brings Plenty is so heartbreaking. I feel for his family as they held on to hope & did everything they could to find him. I hope a full investigation is done & the family gets the answers they deserve," another wrote.

A third expressed, "Absolutely heartbroken.. Cole was such a kind gentle soul with a bright future ahead. My deepest condolences to the Brings Plenty family. Justice for Coco."

The investigation is ongoing and anyone with information should reach out to the Johnson County Sheriff's Office at 913-782-0720.

Cole Brings Plenty was 27 years old. RIP.
