Etika

Daniel Desmond Amofah (born: May 12, 1990), better known online as Etika, was a YouTuber who used to stream on YouTube, and sometimes uploaded discussion videos about video games or other topics. He read donation messages in his live streams and often had to turn them off. After a string of mental breakdowns in late 2018 and early 2019, Etika posted a video that appeared to resemble a suicide note and was reported missing by police in June 2019. His status is unknown.

Mental Breakdown and Termination
On October 25, 2018, Daniel's account was terminated for posting pornographic content and other Community Guidelines violations at around the same time. His Twitter and Facebook accounts were also inactive for unknown reasons. On October 26, 2018, it was reported by his ex-girlfriend Alice that he was sent to a mental hospital. On October 29, 2018, Daniel confirmed on his Twitch stream that he actually got his channel deleted on purpose due to the fact that he does not get ad revenue on the channel.

Second Mental Breakdown
On April 16, 2019, Daniel again began tweeting manically, including threats of suicide, similarly to his previous outburst 6 months prior. Once again, he posted a screenshot of his now-terminated YouTube channel, EtikaFRFX, which he did by his own hand by uploading porn until YouTube took it down.

His ex-girlfriend Alice was with him at the time, and documented what was happening. At one point, Daniel asked her to leave, because "he's expecting people to show up at his house and it might not be safe with me there.” Eventually, she contacted police, who restrained Etika and took him to a hospital.

Custody
On April 29, 2019, Daniel was taken custody while streaming live on Instagram. However, he was released several hours later. By the next day, Daniel uploaded a video to TR1IceMan, an alternate account, for the first time in 6 years.

Altercations with Police Officers
On May 1, 2019, Daniel got into an altercation with a police officer, and was taken to a mental hospital. On May 14, 2019, Daniel returned to streaming and explained everything saying that everyone is a god and saying that the police officer punched him when Daniel stuck the middle finger at him. Fans of Daniel are unsure of the situation and think something is off.

Suicide Note
On June 20, 2019, he posted a video titled "I'm sorry" (later taken down), which seemed like a video with him talking about his impending suicide. The description was called "a suicide letter" by Keemstar on Twitter. He has not said anything furthermore or given any update. His Discord Moderators did apparently call his local police. The video has since been taken down by YouTube. He has also been confirmed missing by the NYPD, in a tweet made at 6:39 PM on June 20, 2019.
