"Yellowstone" spinoff "1923" star Cole Brings Plenty has been found dead just days after he was named a suspect in an alleged domestic violence case and went missing. He was 27.

Cole, whose uncle Mo Brings Plenty stars in "Yellowstone," was discovered dead in a wooded area in Kansas late Friday morning, according to a statement from the Johnson County Sheriff's Office.

Deputies found Cole's body after receiving a report of an unoccupied vehicle in the area of 200th and Homestead Lane.

Prior to the discovery, Cole was last seen in Kansas City Sunday evening, according to TMZ.

The actor was being sought by Kansas police after he was identified as a suspect in an alleged domestic violence incident that took place Sunday morning at an apartment in Lawrence, Kansas.

The Lawrence Police Department announced via Facebook Tuesday that it "submitted an affidavit to the District Attorney for the arrest of Cole Brings Plenty."

"We've identified him as the suspect, have probable cause for his arrest, and issued an alert to area agencies," police added.

According to the police department, officers responded to the apartment Sunday morning after receiving reports of an unidentified woman "screaming for help."

Authorities said Cole fled before officers arrived at the scene.

No other detail about the alleged incident was disclosed.

Police said traffic cameras showed the actor leaving the city in a white 2005 Ford Explorer right after the incident.

Cole's family reached out to police, "expressed concern, and reported him as a missing person," according to the Lawrence Police Department.

In a statement to Entertainment Weekly earlier this week, a spokesperson for the Brings Plenty family said they were unable to contact Cole.

"His disappearance without informing anyone of his whereabouts is uncharacteristic of Cole and deeply concerning," the rep added.

The spokesperson also asked the public to "refrain from making unfounded claims" that Cole was on the run.

Cole's uncle Mo also took to Instagram Tuesday to ask for help locating his missing nephew.

Cole played Pete Plenty Clouds in two episodes of "1923."

His other acting credits include the TV series "Into the Wild Frontier" and "The Tall Tales of Jim Bridger."
