A nationwide Amber Alert was triggered in Mexico City after 15-year-old Perla Alison went missing in the Santa Martha Acatitla neighborhood. The minor was last seen leaving her home to buy candy at a nearby store, and she never returned. Concerned family members immediately contacted local authorities, launching a frantic search that involved both law enforcement and community volunteers.
