Los Angeles County sheriff’s deputies are requesting the public’s help in locating an 11-year-old girl last seen Friday evening near a South Los Angeles park.
Crystal Ramos was last seen about 10 p.m. near the intersection of Firestone Boulevard and Maie Avenue with a man identified as Rafael Vasquez Garcia, 37, according to the Sheriff’s Department.
A witness saw Garcia, also known as “Smiley,” and the girl running from Washington Park toward Firestone Boulevard.

Crystal is described as 5 feet 2 and 125 pounds.
She has brown hair and brown eyes and was last seen wearing gray jeans and a black tank top, according to the Sheriff’s Department.
Anyone with information about Crystal or Garcia is asked to call the sheriff’s Century station at (323) 567-8121.
