SAN FRANCISCO -- Police in San Francisco have stepped up their search for an at-risk 16-year-old girl who was last seen on Thursday night at the Chinatown Him Mark Lai Library on Powell Street.

San Francisco Police have created a unified command post to try and locate Mizan Dadres-Oman, who is at-risk due to her age and a central auditory processing disorder that affects her logic and reasoning.

She was seen wearing a black hoodie, salmon-colored shirt and maroon sweatpants.

An Ebony Alert was issued in San Francisco, Alameda and Contra Costa counties.

SFPD has released more updated photos of her.

Anyone who sees Dadres-Oman is asked to call 911 immediately.

This is the first Ebony Alert issued for a Bay Area missing person after Governor Newsom signed it into law last year, and the fifth for the state of California. Ebony Alerts are intended to raise awareness of missing Black women and children ages 12 to 25, who are disproportionately represented on the lists of missing persons.
