Actor Cole Brings Plenty who starred in the Yellowstone spinoff series 1923, was discovered dead in Kansas.
His family reported him missing earlier this week after he failed to show up for an appointment with his agent.
The 27-year-old’s body was discovered on Friday after local police were summoned to investigate an abandoned vehicle.
The Johnson County Sheriff’s Office released the news in a social media statement, stating that an investigation was ongoing.
The Lawrence Kansas Police Department (LKPD) stated that they were offering help in the case and assisting the family.
The LKPD identified the 1923 actor as a suspect in a domestic violence case, stating that 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, traveling southbound on 59 Highway.
“This incident involves allegations of domestic violence, which limits the amount of information we can share to protect the victim.”
Actor Moses Brings Plenty, 54, confirmed his nephew’s death on Instagram, providing a statement from his brother, Joe, Cole’s father.
“I am deeply saddened to confirm that my son, Cole, has been found and is no longer with us,” the statement reads.
“We want to express our heartfelt gratitude to everyone for the prayers and positive thoughts you sent for Cole.
“During this incredibly difficult time, we ask for privacy as we process our grief and figure out how we move forward.”
Moses Brings Plenty had previously posted a missing poster on Instagram to raise awareness for his nephew.

His family reported him missing when he “missed an appointment with his agent for a TV show, which is uncharacteristic for him” and turned off his phone.
He was last seen leaving Lawrence, Kansas, in the early morning of last Sunday.
