A MISSING TEENAGER who has not been seen in nearly a week has sparked concern after two women went missing in the same area.
Azreya Lomeli, 15, is said to be the fourth woman missing in Chicago’s Little Village neighborhood this year.
“We demand that they pay the same attention they would’ve done when somebody gets killed in Lake View or Wrigleyville or in the Gold Coast, they put the best of the best out there, and here we have to do protests like this, to get the attention of the authorities,” said Baltazar Enriquez, President of the Little Village Community Council, per a local FOX affiliate.
The area, also known as La Villita, is home to Mexican cuisine and culture.
A 20-year-old woman was found shot to death in February.
“It is hard to believe and hard to comprehend that in the year 2023 we’re still finding bodies of women and no answers,” community member Selene Partida told ABC7.
“Who did this? Why did they do this? Regardless of her past, she is a human being. She is a person and we need justice,” said Elizabeth Bello, Chacón’s older sister, per ABC7.
The U.S. Sun has reached out to Chicago police for an update.
