In the pre-dawn hours of May 30, 2015, 16-year-old Jamie J. Hernandez-Zubia was found dead in the 2500 block of Ridge Avenue in Kansas City, Kansas, the victim of an apparent gunshot wound. Witnesses described a shootout between occupants of two vehicles; Jamie was a passenger in one of those vehicles. Her body’s positioning suggested she may have been thrown from a moving vehicle after being shot multiple times.

Jamie had been a runaway from a foster care placement in Wathena, Kansas, since June 9, 2012, when she left at age 13. She had been facing juvenile court proceedings for drug possession and had an active warrant for failing to appear for sentencing. Police received tips that she might have been in the Kansas City area during the three years she was missing but were unable to locate her until her body was recovered in 2015.

Investigators identified a white late 1990s or early 2000s Ford F-150 flare-side regular cab with 20-inch chrome rims and a touch-screen device as a vehicle of interest; it was recovered and processed on June 2, 2015, and was reported to possibly have a bullet hole in the tailgate. The truck’s owner was identified but never publicly charged, and it has not been confirmed who was driving that night. The case remains unsolved.

Does anyone have information about Jamie’s movements between 2012 and 2015 or about the Ford F-150 seen in the Ridge Avenue area that morning?
