The Milwaukee Police Department is urgently calling on the community to aid in the search for 13-year-old Jamyla Norwood, a critically missing and endangered teen last heard from yesterday afternoon; her last known whereabouts were around North 24th Street and West Burleigh Street in Milwaukee, TMJ4 News reported. Jamyla, a Black female described as approximately 5 feet 3 inches tall and weighing 120 pounds, was last seen attired in a pink bonnet, a black t-shirt, blue jean pants, and yellow and black shoes; she was without money or any transportation means, indicating that if she's moving, she is on foot.
Concern escalated after Jamyla's mother received a series of alarming text messages from unidentified numbers implying that her daughter was in peril, texts which claimed her life was taken; during a perplexing and startling call her mother overheard someone threatening violence against the young girl, followed by the call abruptly severing—since then silence, no further word from Jamyla has reached her anguished family, facts as reported by FOX6 News.
The Police have not only called on the public for assistance but also detailed Jamyla's physical description in the hopes that community members might spot her and provide leads; standing 5-foot-3, and weighing around 120 pounds, she was notably wearing a distinctive pink bonnet and yellow and black shoes at the time of her disappearance—details which were reiterated by WISN 12 News. They are particularly focussing on any sightings or information that can pinpoint her movements since yesterday afternoon in the vicinity of 24th and Burleigh.
The Milwaukee Police are asking anyone with information to step forward and contribute to the effort to return this young girl to the safety of her family, with officials hoping for a positive resolution to this distressing episode.
