Eunique Hicks, 16, was last seen in her Coney Island neighborhood on August 22, 2022. She is 5 feet 10 inches tall, about 180 to 185 pounds, with black hair and brown eyes. When last seen she was reportedly wearing a beige shirt and was known to frequent the Bayview Houses in Coney Island.

Family and community members raised concern that public awareness via missing person posters was delayed, which they felt hindered early search efforts. The New York City Police Department’s Missing Persons Squad is handling the investigation, and local groups and residents have been involved in ongoing efforts to locate her. Details about the circumstances of her disappearance remain sparse.

Anyone who knew Eunique, her routines, or who may have seen her in late August 2022 is asked to contact investigators with any information.
