An Amber Alert was issued for 15-year-old Maryuri Gomez Marquez after she was last seen in Plains, Texas, on December 28, 2025. Authorities say she is believed to be with 41-year-old Juan Orlando Garcia Sarmiento, who is wanted on felony charges; officials have not disclosed the nature of their relationship.

Gomez Marquez is described as a Hispanic female with brown hair and brown eyes, 5 feet 11 inches tall and about 125 pounds.
