The Boston Police Department has issued a missing person alert and is requesting the public's help in locating Carmen Tejada, a 38-year-old woman from Hyde Park, whose absence raises concern among the community. Tejada was last seen on July 9, at the Puma Gas Station situated at 841 Morton Street in Mattapan. Described as a Hispanic female, she stands 5'01", has a medium build, brown eyes, and her black hair was styled into a ponytail at the time of her disappearance. Her clothing on that day included a red shirt with the message "projecting greatness", and black pajamas adorned with pink, yellow, and green colors, according to the Boston Police Department.
In addition to the general description, Carmen has distinctive tattoos that could aid in her identification: stars and birds on her arm, and the name "Gallito" inked on her ankle. The search for Carmen is of particular importance to the Boston Police, and they ardently seek any information that could lead to her safe return. They’ve made a plea for public assistance—any sighting or knowledge of her whereabouts can be crucial in this critical period following her disappearance. Details can be reported to 911 or to the District B-3 Detectives at 617-343-4712.
