San Antonio police are asking for the public's help finding Elektra Star Ojeda, a 15-year-old girl who was last seen on the 7000 block of Acorn Bend Drive on Wednesday, September 30, 2026. She is described as Hispanic, 5 feet 3 inches tall, weighing 118 pounds, with brown eyes, black straight hair that reaches her mid-back, pierced ears and a mole on her left cheek. She was last seen wearing a plain shirt, black jeans and brown sandals.
The San Antonio Police Department's Missing Persons Unit is actively investigating her disappearance, according to WOAI. Anyone with information is urged to call the unit directly at 210-207-7660. The Acorn Bend Drive address is on San Antonio's Northwest Side. Local authorities have handled multiple missing youth cases in recent months, as Hoodline has previously reported.
Her case has also been entered into national tracking systems. National missing child registry records list Ojeda as 15 years old and assign her disappearance NCMEC Case Number 2103406 and FBI NCIC Number M689097229, according to records cited on Facebook. Child-specific reporting instructions were moved from Texas Code of Criminal Procedure Article 63.009 to Article 63.00905.
A Pattern of Teen Disappearances in San Antonio
Ojeda's case is the latest in a string of missing-teen reports in Bexar County. In August, 16-year-old Sophia Angelica went missing from the same Far West Side corridor without her phone, and in September, 15-year-old Erilyn Ibarra was reported missing near the Medical Center and deemed at-risk — both cases Hoodline has covered previously. Statewide numbers help explain why these reports keep surfacing: juveniles under 18 accounted for 28,229 of the 40,309 total missing person reports filed across Texas in 2025, more than 70 percent of all missing person cases statewide, according to data compiled by the Texas Center for the Missing.
That same research shows the overwhelming majority of these cases resolve without the worst outcomes many fear. Voluntary runaways comprise 80 to 85 percent of all missing child reports in Texas, while non-family abductions account for just 3 to 4 percent and stranger abductions represent less than 1 percent, per the center's data. Nationally, the picture is similarly reassuring: in 2024, the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children assisted with 29,568 missing child reports and achieved a 91 percent safe recovery rate, according to the Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention.
Legal Risks for Anyone Sheltering a Runaway
Texas law also lays out clear consequences for anyone who might shelter a missing minor without notifying authorities. Harboring a runaway child is a Class A misdemeanor in Texas, punishable by a fine of up to $4,000 and up to one year in jail, per the WOAI report. Texas Penal Code § 25.06 does provide an affirmative defense, however, if the person sheltering the child is related within the second degree of consanguinity or affinity, or if they notify law enforcement or a parent within 24 hours of discovering the child is a runaway, according to FindLaw.
Bexar County has also been building out its capacity to handle a steady caseload of missing-person reports. County commissioners allocated $370,000 in the fiscal year 2025–2026 budget to establish a dedicated Missing Persons Unit within the Sheriff's Office, adding a full-time investigator and an administrative clerk. In August, a regional task force effort called Operation Lightning Bug II — combining the U.S. Marshals Service, the Bexar County Sheriff's Office and the San Antonio Police Department — successfully located 45 missing and endangered children across the area, underscoring the scale of ongoing local enforcement efforts even as individual cases like Ojeda's remain unresolved.
Anyone with information about Elektra Star Ojeda's whereabouts is asked to contact the San Antonio Police Department's Missing Persons Unit.
