The Boston Police Department is asking for the public’s help in locating 13-year-old Zaniya Davis from Dorchester, who went missing Yesterday, around 4:00 PM near Ronan Street. She is 5'2", about 100 lbs., with brown eyes and black hair, and was last seen wearing a black sweater, backpack, and glasses. Zaniya has a developmental disability, according to police.
