An elderly Oakland woman has gone missing and police are asking the public for help in finding her.

Maria Mooney, 79, was last seen around 11 a.m. Tuesday in the 6500 block of Liggett Drive. She was wearing a pink striped long sleeve shirt, gray pants and shoes.

She is considered at risk because of her age and because she is suffering from dementia, police said.

Mooney is Hispanic, about 4 foot, 11 inches tall and about 80 pounds. She has gray hair and brown eyes, and police said.

Police asked anyone with information on her whereabouts to call their missing persons unit at 510-238-3641.
