Overview
- Milwaukee Police issued an urgent, critically missing alert earlier Wednesday seeking help to locate 8-year-old Jeresa Rowe after she was reported last seen on the 1800 block of North 20th Street.
- Police described Jeresa as a Black girl about 4 feet tall and 60 pounds with a thin build, a medium afro, a scar on her nose and a scar near her left eye, last seen in a black T-shirt, blue jean shorts and black Crocs.
- Early news reports noted that police did not provide a date or time for when Jeresa was last seen, which limited reconstruction of the disappearance timeline.
- Milwaukee Police confirmed to WTMJ that Jeresa was found safe near 27th and Capitol on Wednesday and local outlets updated their coverage to reflect that resolution.
- Authorities asked anyone with information to call Milwaukee Police District 3 at 414-935-7232, and the confirmation removed the active missing-child alert while investigators complete any follow-up.
