Did William cross into Texas or remain on the Arkansas side? Did he leave Texarkana entirely?

๐Ÿ”
evidence
Lead #3

Video footage from Walmart and subsequent sightings - are there additional cameras along Texas Boulevard or Elizabeth Street?

William Eric May was last seen on October 28, 2024, leaving a Walmart on the Arkansas side of Texarkana on a light purple bicycle, wearing a black polo shirt and blue jeans. He was subsequently spotted riding the bicycle near Texas Boulevard and Elizabeth Street in Texarkana, Texas, but his current whereabouts remain unknown. The case is complicated by the fact that Texarkana straddles the Arkansas-Texas border, leaving uncertainty about which state he may have traveled to or whether he left the city entirely.
