A 15-year-old Palmdale girl has not been seen since Monday morning, and the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department has classified her disappearance as at-risk, a designation that triggers an immediate public bulletin under state law. Kaylie Dominguez was last seen around 8 a.m. on Monday on the 36500 block of 30th Street East, according to a sheriff's department bulletin. She is described as a Hispanic female, 5 feet 7 inches tall, weighing 145 pounds, with straight black hair and brown eyes, last seen wearing a black hoodie and pants.
The search for Dominguez has been classified as at-risk. The LA County Sheriffs
shared the appeal for help locating her, noting that detectives from the sheriff's department are seeking assistance. Anyone with information can contact the Palmdale Sheriff's Station at (661) 272-2400 or the department's Missing Persons Unit at (323) 890-5500.
Tipsters who prefer to stay anonymous can reach Crime Stoppers at (800) 222-TIPS (8477), or submit information through the P3Tips mobile app or lacrimestoppers.org, per the bulletin.
What the At-Risk Label Actually Means
California law spells out exactly what pushes a missing-juvenile case into at-risk territory. Under Penal Code § 14215(b), that designation can apply when there is evidence of foul play, an urgent need for medical attention, no pattern of running away, possible parental abduction, or a physical or mental impairment, according to Justia Law.
Once a juvenile is classified as at-risk, state law requires swift action. Penal Code § 14211 obligates California law enforcement agencies to accept a missing person report without delay and immediately issue a Be On the Lookout bulletin for anyone under 21 or designated at-risk, as detailed by FindLaw. The same statute requires agencies to transmit those reports into the California Law Enforcement Telecommunications System within two hours, giving the case immediate visibility in state and national databases.
A Familiar Pattern in the Antelope Valley
The Palmdale Sheriff's Station is at 750 East Avenue Q. Hoodline has previously reported on the September search for 16-year-old Josalynn Mendez, reported missing and at-risk in Palmdale. Palmdale authorities also sought 14-year-old Lina Khachatryan in August.
Case Volume Across the County and State
Dominguez's case adds to a substantial caseload tracked across the region. California Department of Justice data for 2025 recorded 10,450 runaway reports from Los Angeles County law enforcement agencies. Statewide, the department recorded 60,438 missing-child reports that year, according to the California Department of Justice.
The National Center for Missing & Exploited Children supported 32,167 missing-child cases in 2025; endangered runaways made up 92 percent of reports, and its overall recovery rate was 90 percent, per MissingKids.org.
Anyone with information on her whereabouts is urged to contact the Palmdale Sheriff's Station.
