The Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department identifies Dominique Tate as a missing juvenile in Compton.
In a post on X, the department asked the public to share information that could help locate Tate, according to the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department.
The bulletin, issued under Sheriff Robert G. Luna, includes an alert and photo of Tate.
Details in the Alert
The X post describes Tate as at-risk.
The bulletin lists the Compton Sheriff's Station Detective Bureau at 301 S. Willowbrook Avenue in Compton and gives its phone number as 310-605-6500.
Anonymous Tips Welcome
The sheriff's advisory lists anonymous options for people who prefer not to contact deputies directly: Crime Stoppers at 800-222-8477, the P3 Tips mobile app or lacrimestoppers.org. These channels are presented as alternatives for sharing information about Tate's disappearance.
Countywide Missing-Child Reports
The California Department of Justice's 2024 county report lists 12,651 reports of missing children in Los Angeles County. That countywide figure does not describe Tate's case. DOJ says its missing-person statistics are compiled from law-enforcement entries and cancellations in its Missing Persons System, so they are administrative records rather than a count of individual cases still missing, according to the California Department of Justice and its statistics page.
Understanding the data and alert labels
A separate 2024 county status table lists 7,556 entries as returned and 3,426 as located in Los Angeles County, among 11,753 total status entries, according to the California Department of Justice. These status entries are a different measure from the county's 12,651 reports. The bulletin describes Tate as at-risk. Among California's AMBER Alert criteria, the California Highway Patrol says law enforcement must confirm an abduction and have reason to believe the child is in imminent danger of serious bodily injury or death. The at-risk description alone does not establish whether those criteria are met.
Anyone with information about Tate is asked to come forward.
