A 9-year-old Milwaukee girl who vanished on foot near 33rd and Lloyd has been found safe, according to police. Amiracle Luckett had last been in contact with her family on Friday afternoon, and police asked the public to help locate her.
A CBS58 article concerned 9-year-old Adonis Green, a boy last seen near 33rd and Lloyd. fox6now.com reported that Milwaukee police had labeled Luckett as critically missing and that she was last believed to be near 33rd and Lloyd, traveling on foot; it later reported that she had been found safe.
Police had described Luckett as roughly 4-foot-4 and 60-to-70 pounds, with a medium complexion, brown eyes and black hair pulled back in braids, per the same account. She was last seen wearing a turquoise T-shirt, black jeans and pink-and-white Crocs shoes, the report noted, details officers had circulated while they searched for her.
How Police Asked the Public to Help
While the search was active, officers asked anyone with information on Luckett's whereabouts to call Milwaukee Police District 3 at 414-935-7232, per the same report. The Milwaukee Police Department's Office of Public Relations separately asks the public to reach out with tips on any missing person case, instructing people to call 414-935-7405 or 414-933-4444, or email [email protected], according to mkepdpio.org.
Luckett's case isn't the only recent instance of a Milwaukee child reported critically missing only to be located safely. The Milwaukee Police Department said 13-year-old Mario Lopez had been found and was safe after he was reported missing, according to wisn.com.
A Similar Case Earlier This Year
Lopez had last been seen on foot near Vel R. Phillips Avenue and Center Street on June 24 at around 4 p.m., wisn.com reported. He was described as just over 5 feet tall and weighing 150 pounds, and was last seen wearing a red camo-patterned shirt, ripped blue jeans and white Air Force Nike shoes. Police had asked anyone with information on his whereabouts to call Milwaukee Police Department District 5 at 414-935-7252.
Both cases underscore how quickly Milwaukee police mobilize public tip lines and detailed physical descriptions when a child goes missing, and how those efforts have, in these two instances, ended with the child located safe.
