Philadelphia police are asking the public for information that could help locate 9-year-old Ashonnah Davis, who has been missing since Saturday morning. Anyone who knows where she is or has information about her whereabouts should call the Special Victims Unit at 215-685-3251, according to NBC10 Philadelphia.

Davis may be in or near the 400 block of East Walnut Lane, according to the NBC10 report. That location is in Philadelphia’s East Germantown section.

NBC10 described Davis as approximately 4 feet tall and about 100 pounds. She was reportedly last seen wearing a burgundy shirt, gray shorts with sparkles, and pink-and-white shoes.

Anyone with information about Davis’s whereabouts can contact the Philadelphia Police Department’s Special Victims Unit at 215-685-3251, the number provided in the NBC10 report.

What broader guidance says

The National Center for Missing & Exploited Children said it assisted law enforcement with 29,568 missing-child cases in 2024 and helped bring 91% of those children home, according to the organization. The U.S. Department of Justice advises families to contact local law enforcement first and then call NCMEC at 800-THE-LOST, or 800-843-5678, according to the department. Those national figures cover cases reported to NCMEC and do not describe Davis’s case. Pennsylvania State Police say the Commonwealth Law Enforcement Assistance Network connects the state’s criminal-justice agencies with the FBI’s National Crime Information Center and other information-sharing networks, according to the agency. In a separate Philadelphia case, police reported on Sept. 11, 2026, that missing juvenile Sarai Roadcloud from the 17th District had been located; that involved a different child and does not indicate an outcome in Davis’s search, according to the Philadelphia Police Department.
