An Amber Alert was issued on Thursday evening for a 16-year-old girl out of New Smyrna Beach.

In the alert, state officials said the girl — identified as Fayren Morris — was last seen on Saturday near the 1300th block of Washington Street.

She may be in the company of 34-year-old Ra’kim Edwards, investigators added.

Ra’kim was described as having tattoos of the word “Lala” on his right shoulder, “Boy” on his left forearm, “C.O.D.” on his right forearm, and a sleeve on his right arm that states “C.O.D. Boy.”
