Although African Americans make up just 13 percent of the U.S. population, we account for 33 percent of the missing in the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s database. Cases involving African Americans also tend to receive less media coverage than missing Whites, with missing men of color getting even less attention.

NewsOne has partnered with the Black and Missing Foundation[1] and TV One to focus on the crisis of missing African Americans.

To be a part of the solution, NewsOne will profile a missing person weekly and provide tips about how to keep your loved ones safe and what to do if someone goes missing, while TV One‘s newest show, “Find Our Missing[2],” hosted by award-winning actress S. Epatha Merkerson, tells these stories in visual form.

Location Last Seen: Tayonna was last seen at 11:30 p.m. at her home in the 11100 block of Rosemary, near Gratiot and Conner on the city’s east side.

Circumstances of Disappearance: They believe she disappeared between 3 a.m. and 7 a.m. on March 26. Her mother discovered her missing when she went to wake the teenager up for school. Now family is frantically trying to find the young girl. They say she has never left home like this before.

“I want the city of Detroit to help us please locate my granddaughter,” Shirley Walker told myFoxDetroit.com[3]. “When I say the city that means she can be anywhere – east side, west side, north Detroit, down river. I just need your help to find my granddaughter and bring her home.”
Other relatives sent out a message of love to the teen.

“Tayonna, ain’t nobody mad at you,” said her aunt, Melissa Walker. “We just want you to come home.”

Last Seen Wearing: Unknown.

Her Grandmother talks like she thinks she left on her own. By this time they have had time to check her phone activity or online interactions and question her friends. I wish we knew if any of those sources provided clues that she left on purpose!

We have no info about personal possessions left behind or taken with her. Did she have money, cell phone, a coat, her purse or a backpack ? Which shoes are missing from her home; or was she barefoot?

It is so frustrating when all we have is a description and picture. I hope they aren't assuming she intended to runaway even if she snuck out by herself. Someone could have hurt her or kidnapped her while she was out!

It has been 2 years. Did Tayonna ever show back up?
 
I continue to hope that we will find out what happened to Tayonna. My thoughts are with her friends and family. As a member of the Websleuths community, I know that much brighter minds than mine have tried to find her. Any news?!
 
There is no Namus page for her and comments on a news article from 7 years ago on FB indicate she had ran away and returned home a few days later.
