Police are investigating after a teenage girl was found dead on the 79th Street Causeway in Miami, one day after she was reported missing.

City of Miami Police units responded to the scene near the Pelican Harbor Marina, at around 5:20 p.m., Sunday. Investigators said family members have identified the teen as 16-year-old Diana Gomez Sanchez.

“Her identification is pending fingerprint and DNA identification, but she has been tentatively ID’d by her relatives,” Miami Police Assistant Chief Armando Aguilar said. “It’s a tragic moment beyond words for our community and for Diana’s family.”

Detectives said Gomez Sanchez had gone out for a morning run, something that, according to her family, she did on a regular basis.

“There’s a big time gap between the time she left her home and the time she was reported missing, so this could have been anytime between 6 a.m. on Saturday until just after 4 or 5 p.m. on Sunday afternoon,” Aguilar said. “Right now, there is reason to believe that there’s foul play. That’s pending an autopsy at the Miami-Dade Medical Examiner Department.”

Investigators said the 16-year-old’s body was found just off the roadway.

“Those are not suspects right now,” Aguilar said. “Those are being treated as witnesses at this time.”
