According to authorities, Aariyana was last seen leaving her home in the 8400 block of Southwest Fifth Street around 10 p.m.

Police said Aariyana and her mother had gotten into an argument just before the teen left her home on foot.

She was wearing a black T-shirt with the words “We Shucking” on the front, black tights and white Crocs.

Police said Aariyana’s father, who lives in Georgia, called his daughter’s mother around 10:30 p.m. and said that he received a text message from Aariyana stating she was going to “KMS” (kill myself).

No relatives have had any contact with Aariyana since she sent that text message, authorities said.

Police said Aariyana does not suffer from any known medical or mental conditions, but she was considered endangered due to her young age.

Police did not immediately say where in Miami Gardens the teen was found or whether she was with anyone during the time she was believed to be missing.
