Deaisha Brown: The 17-Year-Old Who Vanished from Columbus, Georgia – Black and Missing Foundation Launches Urgent Search Campaign

On May 24, 2026, 17-year-old Deaisha Brown was last seen around 8 a.m. in the 4000 block of 15th Avenue in Columbus, Georgia. The Black female teen, standing 5 feet 2 inches tall and weighing about 120 pounds, has not been heard from since. Described as having black hair and brown eyes, she is often seen wearing her hair in a distinctive “puffball ponytail” style.

Columbus Police Department’s Special Victims Unit immediately classified the case as a missing juvenile and issued public appeals. No clothing description has been released, and authorities have not confirmed whether Deaisha left voluntarily or if foul play is suspected. The Columbus area has seen multiple teen disappearances in recent years, raising community concern.

The Black and Missing Foundation (BAMFI) quickly amplified the case across social media, posting flyers and urging the public to share Deaisha’s information with the hashtags #HelpUsFindDeaishaBrown and #DeaishaBrown. The organization, dedicated to highlighting missing Black individuals often overlooked by mainstream media, has mobilized volunteers for awareness campaigns and tip collection.

As of early June 2026, Deaisha remains missing. Police ask anyone with information to call 911, the Special Victims Unit at 706-225-3449, or lead investigator Sergeant David Marrero at 706-225-4480. The family and community continue to hold out hope while the search intensifies.

Deaisha Brown’s disappearance underscores the urgent need for swift action in missing-teen cases, especially in underserved communities. With the Black and Missing Foundation leading the charge, the call for tips and public vigilance grows louder every day.
