Minneapolis police found an 11-year-old girl who was missing for hours Friday night and who was last seen near downtown.

Ja-Khyia Davis, a diabetic who had an IV in her arm, was last seen around 6 p.m., authorities said.

Police reported just before midnight that she had been found. A family member saw her photo on television, and Davis was found at another relative's house, said officer Corey Schmidt, a police spokesman.
