Kenya Young was reported missing from Gwynn Oak, Maryland, after she was last seen on January 15, 2026. Public missing-child listings identify her as a female teenager, and the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children lists her as 16 years old, missing from Gwynn Oak, with the note that she was last seen on that date. The available public record does not describe the circumstances of where in Gwynn Oak she was last seen, who last saw her, what she may have been wearing, or what
direction she may have traveled. What is known from the official poster is limited but urgent: Kenya’s disappearance was serious enough to be entered into the national missing-child system under NCMEC case number 2074612 and NCIC number M078770478.
As the days passed, Kenya’s case appeared in Maryland missing-persons listings, where she was included among current missing persons reported in the state. Those listings repeated the key details that Kenya was missing from Gwynn Oak, Maryland, that the missing date was January 15, 2026, and that the Baltimore City Police Department was the agency to contact with information. The listing was posted publicly on January 20, 2026, showing that her case had already moved beyond a private family concern and into a wider public appeal for help. The contact number provided for Baltimore City Police was 410-396-2466, while NCMEC also listed its 24-hour call center at 1-800-843-5678.
Other online missing-child notices described Kenya as Black, with brown hair and brown eyes, and continued to identify Gwynn Oak as the place from which she was missing. One public alert described her current age as 17, while NCMEC’s poster identifies her as 16 years old; this difference likely reflects how individual sites calculate or update age over time, but the central facts remain consistent across the public records: Kenya Young is a female child missing from Gwynn Oak, Maryland, since January 15, 2026. The public alerts do not provide a confirmed explanation for her disappearance, do not identify a suspect, and do not state that she has been located. Because of that, the available information should be treated with care, focusing on verified details rather than speculation.
The case of Kenya Young is therefore a brief but deeply concerning public record: a teenage girl from Gwynn Oak was last seen on January 15, 2026, her disappearance was entered into national missing-child channels, and law enforcement and child-protection organizations asked the public to come forward with any information that might help. The absence of detailed circumstances does not make the case less important; it leaves more unanswered questions for those who care about Kenya and for anyone hoping for her safe return. In overview, Kenya Young’s case remains publicly documented as a missing-child case from Gwynn Oak, Maryland, involving a 16-year-old female last seen on January 15, 2026, with Baltimore City Police and NCMEC listed as the points of contact for information.Last Seen: Jan 15, 2026
