The Detroit Police Department has issued a call for help in locating Keiyana Jeter, a 16-year-old girl missing since February 19. Jeter was reported to have left her home on the 13500 block of Stahelin Road at around 10 p.m. According to CBS News Detroit, her family says she suffers from bipolar disorder and needs her medication.
Described as standing 5 feet 5 inches tall and weighing 290 pounds, Jeter has brown hair styled in a ponytail and brown eyes. Last seen wearing a black sweatshirt with red, green, and white Crocs, which was reported by ClickOnDetroit, her appearance is common enough that it might become difficult for her to stand out in the crowd, making the search more challenging.
The Detroit Police Department's 6th Precinct is leading the search and asking the community to lend their attention and assistance. The community and police have a history of banding together in times of need, as seen in previous efforts to locate missing individuals in the city.
Anyone with information that can lead to locating Keiyana is strongly encouraged to call the Detroit Police Department's 6th Precinct at 313-596-5601. Relaying information which might seem insignificant, could contribute to her safe return. Additionally, tips can be submitted anonymously through Crime Stoppers at 1-800-Speak Up, which was emphasized in BNN Breaking as being vital for cases such as this. As the hours since her disappearance stretch on, the importance of any detail grows exponentially.
