The Chicago Police Department is actively searching for 14-year-old Jalissa Soto, a teen girl reported missing from the city’s Gage Park neighborhood on May 28, 2025. Authorities are urging the public to come forward with any information that could help locate the young girl.
According to the police bulletin, Jalissa was last seen in the 5800 block of South Campbell Avenue, a residential area known for its close-knit community. Her disappearance was reported later that evening when she did not return home.
Jalissa is described as a Hispanic female, approximately 5 feet 5 inches tall, weighing 150 pounds, with brown eyes, brown hair, and a medium complexion. She was last seen wearing a gray North Face sweater, a blue shirt, and navy blue pants.
Police have not yet provided further details about the circumstances surrounding her disappearance or whether there is any indication of foul play. The case is being investigated by the Area One Special Victims Unit, which handles cases involving minors and vulnerable individuals.
While authorities continue their investigation, local residents and advocacy groups have started circulating the missing person alert on social media platforms. Flyers have also begun appearing in and around Gage Park and nearby neighborhoods like Brighton Park and West Englewood.
“Any missing child case is a priority for us,” said a Chicago Police spokesperson. “We are asking anyone who might have seen Jalissa or has relevant information to come forward immediately.”
Residents in the surrounding area are encouraged to check home security footage, speak with neighbors, and remain aware of any unusual activity. The family has requested privacy during this difficult time but is hopeful for Jalissa’s safe return.
