Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP78970) and 2 other sources
Sharmeil Nashia Burris, a 21-year-old woman, was last seen in Los Angeles, California, on August 18, 1995. She has not been heard from since, and there are few details surrounding the circumstances of her disappearance. At the time she went missing, Sharmeil was described as 5'5", 165 pounds, with black hair and brown eyes. She had distinctive tattoos, including the name "Damon" on her left forearm and "Kearea 4 Life" on the left side of her neck, which may aid in identifying her.

Sharmeil's case has remained unsolved for many years, and no significant leads have been reported. Efforts to locate her continue, but the details of what happened on the day of her disappearance remain unknown. The Los Angeles Police Department is still investigating her case and encourages anyone with information to come forward.

Despite being featured on various missing persons platforms, including NamUs and The Charley Project, Sharmeil’s case remains a cold case. Her disappearance continues to leave her family and investigators searching for answers.
