Missing Virginia teen disappeared after school, police say

HERNDON, Va. - Have you seen Luz Avila Lopez? 

The 15-year-old, who goes by "Leila," went missing on Tuesday, Feb. 27. 

The Fairfax County Police Department is urgently seeking information from the public to locate her. 

Leila was last seen on surveillance video leaving Herndon High School at dismissal time.
