WEST MIAMI – Worried parents are asking for the public’s help in finding their missing 14-year-old daughter.
They say she has never run away before and West Miami police are concerned as well.
West Miami Police Detective Richard Menor told CBS News Miami that new surveillance tape shows Alyssa Mariela Gonzalez Velazquez when she was last seen, leaving her parents’ apartment on the fourth floor of their building at 2201 SW 67th Ave. around 7:30 p.m. Sunday and carrying some clothing with her.
“She looked like she was in a hurry and she took the stairway,” Menor said. “She was wearing a black tank top, brown pants and purple flip-flops. She is not know to do this. She has no history as a runaway and no mental illness.”
He said police are worried about her safety and said: “We tried to teach her on her cell phone but it was shut off. We also tried to reach the cell phones of one of two of her friends but they were shut off too.”
