Ialla Sharp, 17, was last seen from her foster home in Memphis, Tennessee, on March 23, 2020. She is described as 5 feet 3 inches, about 135 pounds, with brown eyes and black curly hair often worn in a puffball ponytail. Reports say she left the residence through her bedroom window during the night and had a history of running away, a fact noted by her foster parent when filing the report with the Shelby County Sheriff’s Office.

A deputy was on scene when the foster parent appeared to make contact with Ialla by text message, but the officer could not verify her well-being or confirm she was safe. That unverified contact and her prior runaway history complicated the initial response. The Shelby County Sheriff’s Office is handling the investigation and the case remains open with no confirmed leads or verifiable communication since she was last seen.

If anyone has information about Ialla’s whereabouts or remembers seeing her on or after March 23, 2020, please share what is known.
