Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP53585) and 14 other sources
Latrice Nelson, a 37-year-old woman from Washington, D.C., was last seen on the evening of July 16, 2018, in the 600 block of Edgewood Street NE around 8:45 PM. Despite her family’s efforts to locate her, she was not officially reported missing until September 5, 2018. Nelson is described as 5'4" tall, weighing around 140 pounds, with long braids and brown eyes. She also has several tattoos, including a butterfly on her right hand, a cross on her left arm, and the name "TAIJHON" on her left hand.

The circumstances surrounding her disappearance remain unclear, and there has been little media coverage of her case. The Metropolitan Police Department classified her as a critical missing person, yet no significant leads have emerged. The investigation remains active, and her case is considered a cold case due to the lack of developments over the years.

Authorities continue to seek information from the public that might help bring closure to her family. Anyone with relevant details is encouraged to contact the D.C. Metropolitan Police.
