Sheila Marie Garrett, a 57-year-old Black woman, was last seen January 4, 2019, in Los Angeles, California. She was described as 5 feet 7 inches tall, about 140 pounds, with black hair and brown eyes. Sheila had been experiencing homelessness for roughly two decades and was last known to be in the 90012 zip code area.

A reporting party who lost contact with Sheila sometime in 2019 filed a missing persons report on March 28, 2023. The Los Angeles Police Department’s Adult Missing Persons Unit is handling the case, and a file was added to NamUs on February 27, 2026 (case MP156048). DNA from Sheila’s daughter, Tameaka Garrett, has been submitted to the California Department of Justice Jan Bashinski DNA Laboratory for comparison. No distinctive features, clothing, or other identifying details are listed.

If anyone knew Sheila, saw her in the 90012 area after January 4, 2019, or has information that could help locate her, please share what you know.
