Shaynia Amir Beard was reported missing from Wichita, Kansas, at the age of 16. Public missing-child notices identify her as a Black female with black hair and brown eyes, and the most consistent online records list her missing date as April 13, 2026, from Wichita. Although the requested date is March 13, 2026, the available public online sources located for this synopsis list April 13, 2026; no reliable online source found in this search confirmed March 13 as the date she was last seen.
The publicly available details about Shaynia’s disappearance are limited, which leaves much of her story defined by what is not yet known. There are no detailed public descriptions in the located online notices explaining where in Wichita she was last seen, what she may have been wearing, who she was believed to be with, or what circumstances led to her being reported missing. What is known is that her case was entered into national missing-child records, with the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children listing her under case number 2084419 and NCIC number M018835848.
Authorities and child-safety organizations have treated Shaynia’s disappearance as a matter requiring public attention. The National Center for Missing & Exploited Children states that Shaynia may still be in the local area and instructs anyone who sees her not to approach her, but to immediately contact law enforcement. The Wichita Police Department is listed as the investigating agency, with public notices directing anyone with information to call the department at 316-268-4220 or to contact NCMEC.
In the absence of fuller public reporting, Shaynia’s case stands as the story of a 16-year-old girl whose safety and whereabouts became a matter of urgent concern in Wichita. Her name appears in missing-child databases and alert listings alongside basic identifying information, but the public record does not provide the personal details that would more fully describe who she is, what she loves, or what her family and community have endured since she disappeared. The available information shows a young person missing from Wichita, Kansas; a case recorded with national missing-child authorities; a belief that she may remain in the local area; and a continued request that anyone with credible information contact the Wichita Police Department or NCMEC so Shaynia can be located and brought to safety.Last Seen: Mar 13, 2026
