Nassau County police kicked off the week with a fresh "Mugshot Monday" lineup on Monday, May 11, naming six people the department says are wanted in connection with crimes across the county. The latest Facebook post pairs each name with brief physical descriptions and the towns police associate with each person, and detectives stress that anyone with information should use official tip lines rather than trying to confront the subjects themselves.
Suspects Named and Alleged Charges
In the post, police list Ilania Rios, 29, of East Meadow, who the department says "acted in a manner to injure a child under 17." She is described as about 5-foot-4 and 200 pounds. The lineup also includes Charlene Smith, 42, of Carle Place, wanted on a second-degree kidnapping charge, and Keiva King, 42, of North Valley Stream, who is wanted for second-degree menacing with a weapon and on a separate allegation that she acted to injure a child. These details appear in the Nassau County Police Department's Facebook post.
How To Submit Tips
Anyone with information is asked to contact Nassau County Crime Stoppers at 1-800-244-TIPS or submit an anonymous web tip. Crime Stoppers notes that tips are confidential and may be eligible for rewards. For emergencies, police say to call 911. For more about how to submit a confidential tip, see Nassau County Crime Stoppers.
Other Subjects Named
The Facebook post also identifies Johana Sanguna Molina, 30, of Valley Stream, who is wanted on fourth-degree grand larceny and on an allegation that she acted to injure a child under 17. Police list Mary Ufie, 33, of Hicksville, on a reckless endangerment charge and a similar child-related allegation, and Jessenia Perez Guzman, 33, of East Garden City, on an allegation that she acted to injure a child under 17 along with an additional shoplifting charge. Police included brief physical descriptions for each subject, including hair color, eye color, height and weight, in the social post. The names and alleged offenses were laid out by the department in the Nassau County Police Department's Facebook post.
Why Police Publish Mugshot Monday
Weekly wanted roundups like "Mugshot Monday" are a regular outreach tactic designed to widen the audience for open cases and generate leads, especially when suspects have missed court dates or detectives are looking for more tips. As reported in a recent piece on similar social-media rollouts, the department has been leaning on Facebook and other platforms in recent weeks. Police emphasize that these posts are meant to prompt tips, not serve as a judicial determination of guilt.
Legal note
Being named in a police wanted post is an allegation, not a finding of guilt. Anyone listed must be processed through the courts, and the Nassau County District Attorney's Office would handle any filings. Authorities reiterate that members of the public should not attempt to detain anyone and should instead call 911 or pass information to Crime Stoppers.
