Miami-Dade, FL — Local authorities are actively searching for Zarihya Bryant, a 16-year-old girl who went missing earlier this month in Northeast Miami-Dade. She was last seen on June 4, and officials are urging the public to assist in locating her.
According to the Miami-Dade Sheriff’s Office (MDSO), Zarihya’s disappearance has prompted an open investigation, and her photo and description have been circulated in hopes of generating leads. The agency has not released further details about the circumstances of her disappearance but has emphasized that her safety remains the top concern.
Officials have not confirmed whether Zarihya left voluntarily or if foul play may be involved. Investigators are working to piece together her last known whereabouts and any individuals she may have contacted before vanishing.
Family members have taken to social media to raise awareness, pleading with the community for any information to help bring her home. “We just want to know she’s safe,” said one relative in a public post.
Anyone who may have seen Zarihya or has information related to the case is urged to contact Miami-Dade Crime Stoppers at 305-471-TIPS (8477). Tips can also be submitted anonymously through their official website.
“The public’s help is absolutely critical in cases of missing persons,” an MDSO spokesperson said. “Even the smallest detail could make all the difference.”
As the investigation continues, Zarihya’s family and the wider community hold on to hope for her safe return.
