Kashelle Lopez was 15 years old when she was reported missing from Hampton, Virginia. The Hispanic female was last seen on March 27, 2026. Her disappearance launched an investigation and a search effort centered on bringing her home safely.
The National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC) has since marked Kashelle Lopez as located, and her missing poster has been taken down. NCMEC has not said whether she was found alive or deceased, and no further details about the circumstances have been released.
Very little information was released publicly about the circumstances of Kashelle’s case. Authorities did not disclose details about the specific location where she was last seen, what she was wearing at the time, or where she may have been headed. The events leading up to her disappearance were also not shared with the public.
Without many details to share, law enforcement relied on the circulation of missing person notices to raise awareness and encourage anyone with information to come forward. Her case was shared through official channels in the hope that increased public visibility would generate new leads for investigators. The approach aimed to balance the need for community assistance with the protection of a juvenile's privacy and the integrity of an active investigation.
Kashelle Lopez remains missing, and her case is still open. Anyone with information regarding her disappearance or current whereabouts is urged to contact the investigating agency. Please reference her National Missing and Unidentified Persons System (NamUs) case number, NC999660980.
