The Cleveland Division of Police is asking the public to help locate Daiyan White, 13, who was last seen in the 1300 block of E 114th Street on the city’s east side. Police described White as a habitual runaway, according to Cleveland 19 (WOIO).
In a report published Saturday, Cleveland 19 News said officers were actively trying to locate White. Police describe the teen as 5 feet tall and weighing about 120 pounds, with black hair and brown eyes.
What Police Know So Far
The station’s report does not say when White was last seen or what the teen may have been wearing. It provides no further details about the circumstances surrounding the disappearance.
Police have described White as a habitual runaway, but no details about prior incidents have been made public.
Statewide reporting context
Ohio recorded 7,656 runaway cases involving children who left home without permission in 2025, according to the 2025 Ohio Missing Children Clearinghouse Report, as reported by Richland Source. That figure is a statewide count; by itself, it does not show what share of all reported missing-child cases were runaways or explain the circumstances of White’s case. The Ohio Attorney General’s 2025 Missing Children Clearinghouse Report says Ohio law enforcement must promptly investigate missing-children reports under Ohio Revised Code Section 2901.30. The statewide requirement does not establish further details about White’s case.
How To Help
Anyone with information about Daiyan White’s whereabouts is asked to contact the Cleveland Police Fifth District at 216-623-5500, or the department’s non-emergency line at 216-621-1234, as noted by Cleveland 19 (WOIO). Police have not indicated whether White has since been located.
