The evening of April 2 saw police responding to an incident of a missing 16-year-old girl reported from the quiet corner of S Hoover St and W 48th St one block away from Figueroa Blvd.

She was last seen at around 5:30 pm wearing a blue shirt, blue pants, and pink sandals. She is 5’3,” 85 lbs, with black hair and brown eyes.

The girl is still missing and any reports of her whereabouts should be reported to 911 immediately.

According to reports, her mental capacity is closer to an 8-year-old’s, making her especially vulnerable and in need of care.
