Attention Shreveport Residents: Two Missing Teens!
Hey there, Shreveport! We have some concerning news that we need to share with everyone in the community. Two teens have been reported missing, and the Shreveport Police Department is reaching out for your help in locating them. It’s crucial that we all come together to support our local law enforcement in finding these young individuals.
Meet Ken’Yon Creighton
First up is Ken’Yon Creighton, a 16-year-old boy who was last seen on Wednesday, March 19, around 10:03 a.m. Ken’Yon was spotted leaving his home in the 4300 block of Akard Avenue. If you have any information about his whereabouts, we urge you to keep an eye out!
Now, let’s talk about what Ken’Yon was wearing at the time. He had on ripped blue jeans paired with a gray hoodie that has white and yellow writing on the arms and chest. He finished off his look with a pair of gray Jordans with a purplish tint. How stylish! But even more important is what he was carrying: a striking black and white backpack. If you see someone matching this description, please pay extra close attention!
Ken’Yon is a Black male with chin-length dreadlocks in a combination of black, brown, or tan shades. This might help you identify him should you happen to see him out and about. Remember, getting the word out could make all the difference, so let’s spread the information as far and wide as we can.
And Now, Shonnie Hamilton
The second case is that of Shonnie Hamilton, who is also just 16 years old. She was reported missing on the same day, March 19, and was last seen in the 4100 block of Powell Street. It’s heartbreaking to think of this young girl not being safe, and her family is undoubtedly worried sick.
Shonnie is described as standing at 5’2″ and weighing approximately 150 lbs. She has brown eyes and her hair is black. What makes her situation even more concerning is that she requires medication for her health—medication she is not currently taking. Time is of the essence!

You can contact the Shreveport Police Department directly at (318) 673-7300. You can also connect with Caddo Crime Stoppers at (318) 673-7373, where you can remain anonymous if you prefer.
