LaKiyah Thompson was 17 years old when she was last seen in Moss Point, Mississippi, on February 18, 2026. Publicly available records identify her as a Black female with black hair and brown eyes, born June 25, 2008. The Mississippi Repository for Missing and Unidentified Persons lists her at 65 inches tall and approximately 100 pounds, with no scars, tattoos, or prior injuries noted in the publicly available case profile. Her case is connected to Moss Point in Jackson County, a coastal Mississippi community, and the official state repository places the last-seen location in Moss Point.
The public details released about the circumstances are limited, but they show that LaKiyah was not believed to have been alone. The Mississippi Repository states that she was accompanied by MyKalia Thompson, and the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children poster also states that LaKiyah and MyKalia were last seen on the same date in Moss Point. MyKalia is listed in a separate Mississippi Repository profile, which says she was 13 at the time she was last seen and was accompanied by LaKiyah. That shared detail gives the case a particularly painful dimension: two young people were reported missing from the same city, on the same day, and official notices ask the public to help locate both of them.
The case was received by the Mississippi Repository on March 12, 2026, after the reported last-seen date of February 18, 2026. The reporting agency listed is the Moss Point Police Department, and the public notice directs anyone with information about LaKiyah or MyKalia’s whereabouts to contact the department at 228-475-1711. The same state record notes that LaKiyah was entered into NCIC and lists an NCIC number, while NCMEC identifies her case with poster number 2077976 and also directs urgent tips through law enforcement channels.
There is no detailed public narrative explaining what LaKiyah was doing immediately before she disappeared, who last saw her, what she may have been wearing, or whether investigators have identified a direction of travel. Because those facts have not been clearly released in the online sources reviewed, the publicly known story remains spare and deeply concerning: a 17-year-old girl from Moss Point was last seen on February 18, 2026; she was reportedly with MyKalia Thompson; both were entered into missing-person systems; and authorities asked the public for information. In overview, LaKiyah Thompson’s case is the story of a teenage girl whose disappearance left behind more questions than answers, with official records preserving the essential facts while her family, community, and investigators depend on anyone with reliable information to help bring clarity and resolution.
