The Austin Police Department is seeking the public’s assistance in locating a missing child, Ava Marie Gonzales. The nine-year-old was last seen by family and friends in December 2017 when she was two years old. At that time, she was in the custody of her mother, Virginia Gonzales.

Virginia Gonzales has been arrested on charges related to serious injury to a child on April 24, 2025. Authorities are particularly concerned about Ava’s welfare due to circumstances surrounding her younger sibling who was found on April 3, 2025.

The APD encourages anyone with information regarding Ava’s whereabouts to contact them via email at ava@austintexas.gov or provide information anonymously through Crime Stoppers by calling 512-572-8477.

Ava’s last known guardian, Virginia Gonzales, remains in custody following an arrest for serious bodily injury to a child.
