The Cincinnati Police Department has issued an urgent appeal to the public to aid in locating a missing 13-year-old girl. Joselynn Sims, a resident of the West Price Hill area, was last seen on Tuesday evening and has not been located since. In their call for assistance, the department provided a description: Joselynn was wearing a white t-shirt, dark shorts, and croc shoes when last seen. Anyone with information is encouraged to promptly get in touch with Det. Williams at 513-263-8333.

The social media post by the Cincinnati Police Department urges residents to be vigilant and report any sightings or information that could help swiftly return Joselynn to her family. "Please help us locate 13-year-old Joselynn Sims. She is missing from the West Price Hill area," pleads the Department's post, echoing across the digital expanse.

Authorities are asking residents not only to look but also to actively engage in helping spread the word. Community members are quickly sharing the police's message on social media, while others are printing flyers and canvassing the neighborhood. Such actions reflect a collective embrace, a communal effort to protect and find the young member of their community. "Please contact Det.
