Latoya Elicia Salazar, a 38-year-old Hispanic woman, was last seen by family on January 21, 2023, in Yakima, Washington. She was standing near a mini-mart close to her family’s home when she disappeared. Latoya is 5 feet 9 inches and about 115 pounds, with long black hair and brown eyes. Distinctive tattoos include the names of her siblings between her fingers, a B on her right pinky knuckle and an A on her right ring finger knuckle; she may also have a butterfly tattoo on her left forearm though that has not been confirmed.

The Yakima Police Department opened a missing persons case, but few public details about the circumstances have been released. Family and community members have used social media to raise awareness and seek leads, and no significant breakthroughs have been reported; she remains missing. Anyone who knew Latoya or has information about her whereabouts is asked to contact the Yakima Police Department.
