12-year-old Jahmeshia Conner Found Dead in South Side Alley
The sad news from the Chicago Tribune:
A 12-year-old girl who was missing for the last two weeks was found dead in aSouth Side alley this morning, her family said.
Family members said they have viewed photographs and identified the girl as Jahmeshia Conner, who was last seen Nov. 15. She was a fifth grader at O’Toole Elementary School.
Chicago police said the body was found this morning in the 6400 block of South Marshfield Avenue, about a block from her home. Further details about her identity and cause of death were pending an examination by the Cook County medical examiner’s office, police said.
Family members said it appeared from the photos that Jahmeshia may have been beaten.
Various online missing-children sites refer to Jahmeshia as an "endangered runaway," but family members insisted she would never run away.
Our thoughts and prayers are with the family.
