Philadelphia police are asking the public for help finding Armarni Arzu, a 15-year-old girl who has not been seen since the morning of October 29, when she was last spotted on the 2400 block of Emerald Street. Investigators describe her as 5 feet tall and weighing 150 pounds.
The Philadelphia Police Department has listed Arzu as a missing juvenile tied to the city's 25th District, according to the department's online crime blotter. As reported by Newport Dispatch, police said Arzu is known to frequent the Jerome Brown Playground on the 1900 block of West Ontario Street, as well as the 3400 block of North Hope Street.
Where Investigators Are Focusing Their Search
Those two locations — the playground and the Hope Street block — are the specific spots police have flagged as places Arzu is known to spend time, according to the same report. Officers have not released additional details about her last-seen clothing or circumstances beyond the Emerald Street sighting.
Anyone with information about Arzu's whereabouts is asked to contact Philadelphia's East Detective Division at 215-686-3243.
Not an Isolated Appeal
The case echoes an earlier public appeal from the department. The Philadelphia Police Department issued a notice dated September 30, 2022, seeking help locating 15-year-old Egypt Lackey, who was identified as missing from the city's 14th District. The department maintains an ongoing missing persons page that includes Arzu's case.
No further updates on Arzu's case have been released at this time.
