An Amber Alert has been issued for a 15-year-old girl in North Carolina.
The North Carolina Department of Public Safety sent out an Amber Alert for Nevia Maihyanna Nixon, of Fayetteville, on Thursday morning.
Nixon was last seen on Sept. 25 along the 600 block of Welsh Place, according to police. She was reported as a runaway the next day and Fayettesville police issued a “runaway/missing person” notice about her, but the case has since been upgraded to an Amber Alert.
It was not immediately clear what sparked the Amber Alert, but a spokesman for police told ABC News she went from a runaway to “endangered.” He did not comment further and the state’s department of public safety did not immediately respond to ABC News’ request for comment.

Nevia’s father, Carton Adams, pleaded for her return, saying she is a loving girl. Adams said she spends a lot of time on social media, but has not posted anything since Sept. 25.
“I would like to keep positive and believe that my baby is not in any danger, but she loves her family and Nevi would have reached out and came home or said something,” he told ABC Fayetteville affiliate WTVD.
Nevia is described as 5’3″ or 5’0″ and weighing 170 lbs. She has dyed red hair and brown eyes.
Anyone with information on her disappearance is urged to contact the Fayetteville Police Department at (910) 676-1538.
