The Minneapolis Police Department has issued a plea for assistance from the public in their search for 12-year-old Victoria Alexandria Jackson, who has been reported missing since August 2nd. Victoria was last seen walking away from Minnehaha Falls around 8:00 p.m. During a time when families gather for picnics and reprieve by the falls, a desperate search has ensued for the young girl.
As the community grapples with concern, the Minneapolis Police Department provided a description of Victoria, noting that she is a black girl, stands 5’1” tall, and weighs approximately 140 lbs. With twists in her black hair. On the day of her disappearance, she was wearing a tan "Rugrat" shirt, blue jeans, and red and black shoes. Evidently grasping the severity of her situation, the authorities emphasized that Victoria is a Type 1 Diabetic, reliant on an insulin pump—a critical piece of information, which underscores the urgency of her safe return.
Efforts to spread awareness about Victoria's disappearance are underway, and the police encourage anyone with information on her whereabouts to act immediately and call 911. Alongside direct pleas for help, an anonymous tip line has been established by CrimeStoppers to encourage those with any information, regardless of how minute it may seem, to come forward without fear of exposure. The community's role in sharing her image and information cannot be understated, as each share amplifies the reach and improves the chances of bringing Victoria home.
Worried for her safety and well-being, the authorities have urged that if people see Victoria or have any details related to her disappearance, they should not hesitate to contact law enforcement. The case number assigned to Victoria's disappearance, for reference in any communications, is 25-217186. In an effort to enlist public assistance, the Minneapolis Police Department has disseminated her information via an online City of Minneapolis bulletin.
