Zaela Walker, a two year old black female, was last seen in North Las Vegas, Nevada on August 23, 2018. She lived with her mother, Lakeia Walker, and maternal grandmother, Carla Richardson, in the 4600 block of Mission Cantina Avenue. At the time of her disappearance, Zaela weighed 27 pounds, was one foot tall, had curly dark brown hair, and brown eyes.
On August 15, 2018, Lakeia took Zaela to her father, Ricky Beasley, to keep while she went to an interview. After that, Beasley refused to give Zaela back to her mother.
August 21, 2018, Beasley and Lakeia went on an unannounced trip to California and Mexico. Conflicting stories as to Zaela's location were given to the police. Zaela was not seen after August 23, 2018. Lakeia Walker agreed to plead guilty to accessory to commit murder and Ricky Beasley agreed to plead guilty to second degree murder. Both were initially charged and arrested for the murder of Zaela Walker. As of May 2026 both cases are still ongoing and Zaela Walker's remains have yet to be found.
