The Quincy Police Department is seeking the public's assistance in locating a missing teenager, Zahara Abdul-Shafi, who has been reported as a runaway. Zahara, a 15-year-old girl, was last known to have left her home in North Quincy early in the morning last Sunday, October 27th. A social media post issued on October 30th by the department details her description: Zahara stands at a height of 5'7", weighs approximately 120 pounds, and is characterized by brown hair and brown eyes.
According to the Quincy Police Department, she was last seen wearing grey leggings and a black sweater, and she is noted to have piercings in her nose and ears. Missing persons reports, though troubling in their frequency, become even more pressing when they involve young individuals who engaging their ties to familiar locales, in this case, are known to frequent Quincy Center and the McDonalds in North Quincy.
Concern for Zahara's welfare is mounting, and authorities are encouraging anyone with information about her whereabouts to come forward. In the echoed silence where her presence was, now lays concern and pleas from the community reaching out to ensure her safe return. The contact number for the Quincy Police is (617)479-1212, and they are accepting tips or any relevant information that might aid in locating Zahara.
