SAN FRANCISCO (KRON) – El Cerrito police are seeking the public’s help in finding a missing person.
Kemani McAlpin, a 29-year-old woman from the Los Angeles area who was visiting family in El Cerrito, was reported missing Monday night to the El Cerrito Police Department, according to a news release.
McAlpin was last seen on the 500 block of Kearny Street in El Cerrito on Monday morning. Family and friends have attempted to contact her but haven’t heard back.
McAlpin is Black, 5-foot-7-inches, 170 pounds, and has black hair and eyes. She was last seen wearing a black face mask, a beige sweatshirt, black pants and high top Nike sneakers, according to the news release.
Her family is also asking for the community’s help in finding her.
“She hasn’t reached out to anyone. Her phone died. She doesn’t know where she is. She is not on her medication and you’re just hoping that nothing has happened to her but as the days go on, it’s difficult,” Arielle McAlpin, Kemani’s sister, said. “The last confirmed sighting of her was in Oakland, which is like a three-hour walk from El Cerrito.”
Anyone with information is asked to contact their local police department or Detective John Whitney of the El Cerrito Police Department at 510-215-4420.
UPDATE: Feb. 23, 2022 – McAlpin has been found, according to family members.
