Seventeen-year-old Zhyana Thomas was reported missing from Lawrenceville, Georgia, with the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children listing her as missing since April 13, 2026. Public missing-child records identify her as a female teenager, age 17, and list Lawrenceville as the place she was last seen. The NCMEC poster also includes NCIC number M318880367 and directs anyone with information to call 911 or submit a tip through NCMEC, underscoring that the case was being treated as a matter requiring immediate attention from the public and law enforcement.
The available public information gives only a narrow picture of the circumstances, and there are no detailed online accounts found describing what Zhyana was doing before she disappeared, who last saw her, or the exact neighborhood or address connected to her last known location. What the records do show is that her case entered public missing-child alert networks after she vanished from Lawrenceville, a city in Gwinnett County. Missing child listings repeated the same core facts: Zhyana Thomas, 17, missing from Lawrenceville, Georgia, since April 13, 2026, with the Gwinnett County Police Department identified as the agency to contact at 1-770-513-5700.
Zhyana’s case was also shared by organizations and databases that focus on missing children, including a public alert from Stop Child Abuse and a listing from Missing Black Children of Georgia. Those sources identify her as Black, with brown hair and brown eyes, and repeat that she was missing from Lawrenceville beginning April 13, 2026. Missing Black Children of Georgia also directs the public to NCMEC and lists 1-800-THE-LOST as a number for information, reflecting the broader effort to circulate her name and details beyond one local jurisdiction.
The public alerts surrounding Zhyana’s disappearance are brief, but the concern behind them is clear: a 17-year-old girl was last seen in Lawrenceville and then became the subject of missing-child notices intended to reach anyone who might have seen her, heard from her, or know where she could be. The case record does not provide a public narrative of the hours before she went missing, and no publicly available source reviewed here states that she has been found alive or located deceased. The known overview is that Zhyana Thomas, a 17-year-old Black female with brown hair and brown eyes, was reported missing from Lawrenceville, Georgia, on April 13, 2026; her case was listed by NCMEC and other missing-child resources; and anyone with information was urged to contact 911, NCMEC at 1-800-THE-LOST, or the Gwinnett County Police Department at 1-770-513-5700.
