Missing children are highly vulnerable and can also experience homelessness when they are missing. According to a recent report from Chapin Hall,1 in 30 adolescent minors ages 13 to 17 endures some form of homelessness in a year.

Cheyanne is described as a Black female, standing 5 feet and 3 inches tall, weighing approximately 216 pounds, having brown hair, brown eyes, and a medium complexion.

Anyone with information on Cheyanne's whereabouts or disappearance is asked to contact the Kalamazoo Department of Public Safety at 269-488-8911 or contact the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children at 1-800-THE-LOST (1-800-843-5678).
