The Minneapolis Police Department has good news to share as young AALIYAH EVANS, the missing 3-year-old girl, has been found and is now safe. Just a day before, the department reached out to the public seeking assistance in locating AALIYAH after she was last seen on the 2500 block of Lake St E around noon, with a woman whose description was also shared. Concerns heightened as hours turned to night with AALIYAH's whereabouts still unknown.
In a statement on their official Facebook page, the Minneapolis Police described AALIYAH as a biracial female, standing 3 feet 5 inches, and weighing approximately 35-40 pounds. Her brown eyes and short curly brown hair with blonde streaks, framed the innocence of a young life, stirring a sense of urgency across the community. She was last seen wearing a combination as simple as a white T-shirt paired with black jeans. The woman accompanying her was noted as a biracial female with short black hair, dressed in a tye-dye t-shirt, light grey leggings, and in possession of a pink backpack—a description aimed to spark recognition and a swift response.
As the search intensified, authorities urged anyone with knowledge of AALIYAH or her companion's location to call 911, and provided an incident GO number, 24-272783, to help in the prompt handling of tips. Further contact channels included an email at [email protected], a dedicated voicemail at 612-673-5845, and the option to reach out through Crimestoppers for those who preferred to stay anonymous.
