Eight-year-old Relisha Tenau Rudd has gone missing in southeast Washington, D.C. on Thursday, prompting police to issue an Amber Alert.
Two vehicles that police were looking for in connection to a homicide in Oxon Hill, Maryland were found at the scene of the crime. Rudd is connected to the homicide but is not the victim.

She was last seen on February 26, reported NBC.
Rudd is described as standing 4'0” and weighing 70 to 80 pounds. She has black hair, brown eyes, and a medium complexion.
