The Harris County community is on high alert as the search intensifies for 5-year-old Amiyah Smith, reported missing since March 19, 2025. CW39 notes that Amiyah was last seen in the area of Bellaire Blvd. inside Highway 6 in west Harris County. The Harris County Sheriff's Office has issued an AMBER Alert and is encouraging anyone with information to come forward. The urgency of this situation is palpable among those involved in the ongoing search.

Details about Amiyah's last known appearance and her physical description have been widely disseminated in order to aid the public in recognizing her. She is described as being around 4 feet, 3 inches tall, approximately 55 pounds, with black hair and brown eyes.

Amiyah was under the care of 40-year-old Natalie Boykai at the time of her disappearance while her mother was hospitalized.
