A Sudanese fashion model who has been missing for nearly two weeks was last seen leaving a midtown Manhattan nightclub, police said Monday.
Ataui-Deng Hopkins, 22, left the XVI Lounge at 251 W. 48th St. with her boyfriend at midnight Aug. 6, police said.
The boyfriend, who lives with her on Essex Street on the Lower East Side, told The Post he was with her that night and hasn’t seen her since.
“We walked out of the club together,” said her boyfriend Grant Monohon, an actor. “She didn’t say anything. She just left and I expected her to come back and she didn’t.”
He said his girlfriend was having “personal issues.”
“She’s the most gorgeous soul, she’s the sweetest woman. She’s just acting irregular lately,” he said, but wouldn’t elaborate.
“It’s not irregular for her not to come back for a day or two. On the third day I was getting really worried… She’s been missing for too long. I’m terrified. It’s been crazy.”
Cops are trying to confirm a more recent sighting of the model; a deli worker told cops he thought he saw the model near her home, in his deli, last Thursday, a source told The Post.
Karim Islam, who works in one local deli, SX Gourmet, said he last saw Hopkins about two weeks ago, when she came into the store looking “sad.” She tried to buy cigarettes and snacks, but her credit card got rejected.
“She said she’d never been declined before,” said Islam, 32, and added, “She’s a really nice person, very gentle, very quiet.”
The NYPD put out a missing person’s alert describing Hopkins as 6’1″, 110 pounds, black hair with dark complexion and a thin build.
Hopkins has been sharing an apartment with Monohon and another man. That other roommate’s girlfriend, who was at the apartment Monday, expressed grief over Hopkins’ disappearance, telling The Post, “She was a beautiful person.”
