Missing Homestead girls found at friend’s home, police say
UPDATE: Miami-Dade police said they found Jazmine Brown, 12, and Markevia Wright, 13, unharmed at a friend’s house.
An Amber Alert has been issued for Jazmine Brown and Markevia Wright, two girls who went missing earlier this week in Homestead.
On Monday, Jazmine, 12, disappeared from the 28300 block of Southwest 124th Place, while Markevia, 13, went missing from the 12400 Block of Southwest 283rd Street, Miami-Dade police said.
The Florida Department of Law Enforcement says Jazmine and Markevia are together and could be with Keon Kiser, 16.
The initial issued Amber Alert by the FDLE sent on cell phones stated: “Kidnapped children, Miami-Dade County”.
Though the alert mentions kidnapping, police have not stated that.
Miami-Dade Police Spokesman Khristopher Welch said, “As of right now, we haven’t gotten that detailed information. We’re just saying they’re missing.”
The two girls haven’t been in contact with their family or friends, police said. They may be in need of services.
Jazmine was last seen wearing a blue and white T-shirt, black biker shorts, and pink and yellow sandals. Markevia was last seen wearing a black shower cap, black jacket and white sandals.
Keon has black hair and is about 6 feet tall, weighing 135 pounds.
