WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. — UPDATE: Diamond Tierra Kimbrough has been found according to the Winston-Salem Police Department.

Winston-Salem police are searching for 21-year-old Diamond Tierra Kimbrough.

A silver alert was issued for her early Tuesday morning. Police said Kimbrough suffers from a cognitive disorder and they are concerned for her wellbeing. 

According to social media posts from family members, Kimbrough hasn't been seen since August 17. 

Police said Kimbrough was last seen at her home on Reynolds Forest Drive in Winston-Salem. She left in a 2014 black Mazda 6 with North Carolina license tag BBV-7658. It wasn't known what she was wearing, but officials said she typically wears leggings, a tee-shirt, and slides or sandals. 

Kimbrough is also a relative of Forsyth County Sheriff Bobby Kimbrough. He released the following statement: 

"First of all, I want to thank the community for the outpouring of support, and especially the Winston-Salem Police Department, for their support during this time. Our hope is the same hope as of any other family – that our loved one is safely located and returned home. I want to especially thank the Winston-Salem Police Department for their professionalism in this investigation and for the resources, they are committing to it. While Diamond is a relative of mine, the Sheriff’s Office will treat this like we do every other investigation where we are not the lead agency – we will offer resources and support. We are not the investigating agency and we will not take over as that is not our role.
Thank you again to our community members and to the members of the media for your participation in ensuring the safe return of Diamond."

If you have seen her, please call Winston-Salem Police Department at 336-773-7700.
