Zekyah Smith, a 17-year-old female, was reported missing after she was last seen on March 14, 2026, in Newport News, Virginia. Public missing-child alerts circulated her name but provide only basic facts: age, gender, last-seen date and city. Notices did not include a last-known address, neighborhood, school, clothing description, direction of travel, or confirmed companion.

The available material emphasizes that small observations can be crucial in teenage disappearances — a brief sighting, social media contact, or recall of a conversation might help narrow searches around Newport News and surrounding Peninsula communities. The state missing persons clearinghouse connects local and statewide systems, but no public update has confirmed whether Zekyah has been located alive or deceased.

If anyone in Newport News or nearby communities saw Zekyah on or after March 14, 2026, or has information about her whereabouts, please share what you know with local authorities.
