Missing New Jersey teen Jashyah Moore found safe in New York City

Moore, 14, had been missing since Oct. 14.

Jashyah Moore, a 14-year-old from New Jersey who had been missing for about a month, was found safe in New York City, according to officials.

At a press conference on Friday, police said Jashyah likely ran away from home and did not want to return. There is an ongoing investigation into the circumstances of her disappearance.

The teen "is currently safe and is being provided all appropriate services," acting Essex County prosecutor Theodore N. Stephens said in a statement. Jashyah had been missing since Oct. 14.

Stephens said Jashyah would be returned to New Jersey shortly. Officials, however, said she likely won't go back home until an investigation is over and that her mother is cooperating with police. They believe Jashyah was alone when she was found, but the details of her time in New York are still being uncovered by investigators.
