A 24-year-old Inglewood woman who went missing Monday afternoon has been located safely, according to family members who shared the update on social media Tuesday.
Soraida Mejia was reported missing around noon on August 4 after she was last seen near the intersection of Manchester Avenue and Eucalyptus Street in Inglewood. She was described as wearing yellow hospital attire at the time she disappeared, a detail that alarmed friends and family and raised concern about her wellbeing.
A friend of Mejia’s, who posted the initial appeal for help under the name King Ed, urged followers to contact 911 or the Inglewood Police Department if they spotted her.
The post spread quickly online, drawing more than 200 comments and thousands of shares within a few hours as users across Los Angeles and beyond asked for prayers and offered to help circulate the alert.
Sister Shares Update, Thanks Community for Support
As word of Mejia’s disappearance spread, unconfirmed reports began circulating online suggesting she had been spotted with firefighters and police in Culver City. Several commenters said they had heard she was safe and being cared for, though those claims could not be independently verified in the moments after they appeared.
The uncertainty ended when Mejia’s sister posted an update confirming she had been found. The sister thanked the online community for its role in spreading the word, writing that everyone who shared the post played a part in bringing her sister home safely.
The update was met with an outpouring of relief in the comments, with many expressing gratitude and continuing to send prayers for Mejia and her family.
Some commenters questioned the timeline of the report, noting it had not yet been a full day since Mejia was last seen, while others focused on the mention of hospital attire, wondering what health circumstances may have been involved. Those details have not been publicly clarified by the family, who have kept the focus on Mejia’s safe return rather than further specifics.
Missing person cases involving vulnerable adults often move quickly once a community mobilizes online, and this case appeared to follow that pattern, with the report, search, and resolution unfolding within a matter of hours.
Family and friends who knew Mejia through her past appearances in entertainment and modeling circles also weighed in, describing her as someone who had brought joy to many people over the years.
As of the latest posts, no additional details have been released about where or how Mejia was found, and it remains unclear whether authorities were formally involved in locating her. Family members have asked the public to keep her and her family in their thoughts as she recovers.
