Police in Oakland, California are asking the public to be on the lookout for a 12-year-old girl who went missing from the area last week.
On January 23, 2019, Sariyah Cherie Barker went missing from her therapist’s office located in the Fruitvale district of Oakland. She left the facility without her cellphone, making contacting the pre-teen a nearly impossible task. She hasn’t returned home but authorities believe that she has been staying with someone in the area of 66th Ave and International Blvd. Sariyah has been spotted in Vallejo and West Oakland, as well.
According to the National Missing and Unidentified Persons System (NaMus), Sariyah is 5 feet 4 inches tall and 105 pounds. At the time of her disappearance, her hair was dyed strawberry blonde and Sariyah has brown eyes. Reports state she was last seen wearing a black Nike sweater, blue jeans, gray/purple Jordan sneakers, and a silver cross necklace.
Anyone with information is urged to contact the Oakland Police Department at (510) 238-3641 or their local authorities
