The 16-year-old was spotted around noon on the 4500 block of Bond St. With concerns mounting over Jasi's whereabouts and safety, the authorities are calling on the public to come forward with any potentially helpful information.
Jasi, described as approximately 6 feet tall, weighing around 175 pounds, and with brown eyes and dread-style brown hair, was last seen wearing distinct clothing—a black beanie adorned with white letters, a black hooded sweatshirt featuring a red cookies logo, black jeans, and white shoes.
