Nala Diop Thomas was living with her father in Texas, her mother, Shaquira Thomas, told PIX 11, and visiting New York when she went missing.
The teen was last seen Aug. 13 leaving her stepmother’s apartment at 810 River Avenue in the South Bronx around 11 a.m. Later on, a missing person report was filed at the 44th Precinct.

Up until the beginning of the summer, Diop Thomas was living in New York City with her mother. She is registered for the upcoming school year in Texas.

Diop Thomas is described as having a dark complexion, about 5’5” tall and weighs about 120 pounds. She has dark colored eyes with black hair and was last seen wearing a black shirt, black shorts and a black hat.
