Ceniya Davis was 15 years old when authorities in Tangipahoa Parish, Louisiana, asked the public to help find her after she went missing from the Hammond area. The Tangipahoa Parish Sheriff’s Office reported that Ceniya and another 15-year-old girl, Skylar Baker, had left the group home where they were staying and had not returned. Officials said neither girl was originally from the Hammond area, but both had ties to New Orleans and Houston, Texas, widening the circle of places where someone
might have seen or heard from them.
Ceniya was described by authorities as a Black female with brown hair and brown eyes, about 5 feet 5 inches tall and weighing approximately 167 pounds. Investigators did not release a clothing description, and it was unknown what she was wearing when she left. That uncertainty made the public’s awareness especially important, because anyone who recognized her face, name, or possible connections to New Orleans or Houston could have had information that might help investigators understand where she went after leaving the group home.
The case drew additional concern because Ceniya was reported missing alongside Skylar Baker. In an update issued by the Tangipahoa Parish Sheriff’s Office, officials said Skylar had been located safely in New Orleans, but they were still working to locate Ceniya. That update left Ceniya’s case unresolved in the public information available from law enforcement, and it underscored that the safe recovery of one child did not end the search for the other.
As the search continued, public alerts repeated the same essential details: Ceniya Davis was missing from Hammond, Louisiana; she was a teenage girl with connections beyond Tangipahoa Parish; and authorities were asking anyone with information, even something that seemed small, to come forward. Stop Child Abuse listed Ceniya as missing from Hammond and directed anyone with information to the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children at 1-800-843-5678 and the Tangipahoa Parish Sheriff’s Office at 1-985-345-6150. The sheriff’s office also asked tips to be directed to its Juvenile Division at 985-902-2031, with anonymous tips available through CrimeStoppers of Tangipahoa at 1-800-554-5245.
At its heart, Ceniya’s case is the story of a 15-year-old child who disappeared from a group home in Hammond under circumstances that remain sparsely described in public reports. The known facts are limited but serious: she left the Hammond-area group home with another teen, she was not from the area, she had ties to New Orleans and Houston, her clothing at the time was not known, and after Skylar Baker was found safe, authorities said they were still trying to locate Ceniya. The overview of the case is that Ceniya Davis remained the focus of a public missing-child alert, with law enforcement and child-safety organizations asking the public to help bring forward any information that could explain where she went and help ensure her safe return.Last Seen: Oct 25, 2025
