Marlene Rosas, 17, went missing from her Little Havana home. She has been found

Update: Marlene Rosas, 17, who went missing Wednesday from her Little Havana home, has been found safe, Miami police announced Thursday.

Marlene Rosas went missing Wednesday from her home in Little Havana, and police say the 17-year-old may be suicidal.

Miami Police Public Information Officer Mike Vega said Marlene got in an argument with her parent — it was not clear whether it was her mother or father — and left the home in the 1100 block of Northwest Third Street in Little Havana. Rosas also had self-harmed previously, Vega added.

Miami Police had been in contact with her after she left before eventually stopping communication with the officers, Vega said.

Rosas is 5 feet, 3 inches, with red hair and brown eyes. She was last seen wearing a hot pink shirt and gray shorts.

If anyone has additional information, contact Det. Reiner or any Miami police on-duty detective within the Special Victims Unit at 305-603-6300 or 305-579-6111.
