An 11-year-old girl who went missing out of Miami Gardens on Tuesday has been found after her parents say she had run away from home.

Miami Gardens Police confirmed Galiea Jones Duncanson was found a few hours after the Florida Department of Law Enforcement issued a missing child alert for the girl.

Police did not confirm where she was found, but NBC6 overheard her mother saying the child was in Hollywood.

Duncanson was last seen at her home in the 2400 block of Northwest 155th Street. Her parents said she left a note saying she was running away.

Her father, Dwight Duncanson, said she has autism and was worried for her wellbeing. He said she had never run away from home before.

Duncanson is 5-foot-1, 160 pounds, with brown eyes and black hair in long braids.

She was last seen wearing a blue shirt with colorful leggings and may be carrying a Powderpuff Girls backpack and may have a Hello Kitty stamp on her left hand.
