Narrative:
Cleared direct to balld fix to intercept the localizer at or above 3000 ft. Once at balld we were cleared for the approach. I put in 2100 and started down not realizing that sshoe was a missing fix and was at 2500 ft. We received a low altitude from tower and the captain took [the] controls and climbed to 2500 ft. Double check all fixes are in the box when cleared to outermost fixes on approaches.
