Son of Michigan Congressman disappears in Texas after he was last seen by his roommate at their Houston apartment
The son of US Representative John Conyers has been reported missing in Texas.
Carl Edward Conyers, 21, was last seen on Tuesday afternoon by his roommate at their shared apartment in South Central Houston, police told WWJ.
His older brother, John Conyers III, wrote in a post on Instagram that Carl has been missing for more than 24 hours and asked anyone with information to contact him.
In photos of Carl shared online, he is shown with facial hair but his brother said he may no longer have a beard.
Carl is currently a junior at the University of Houston and recently celebrated his birthday earlier this month on November 2, according to social media posts.
He is currently enrolled at the CT Bauer College of Business and is a Student Program Coordinator at the university, according to his LinkedIn account.
He also serves as the Marking Director for Uncommon Commons, a platform for creative expression across all forms of art at the university, and as the president of the university's Black Business Association, according to his Twitter account.
He is expected to graduate from the university in 2018.
His girlfriend, Daisha Lewis, said she and other friends briefly thought he had been located on Wednesday morning after receiving a message from his Twitter account, but they still do not know where he is.
'Right now, we still don't know where he is. He may have come back to his room around 11.30 yesterday, in the morning, but as far as we know, no one has seen him since then,' Lewis told WWJ.
'He might have come back to take more stuff out of his room, but we're not sure if it was him that took stuff out of his room or someone else that made him or someone that did it for him.'
She said she and his friends received a message on Twitter asking them to meet him on campus, but when they arrived, he was not there.
When they went back to his apartment, his ID, debit card and clothes were gone, she said, but he had left behind his car keys, his phone and his laptop at the apartment.
'He took his ID with him and a debit card and some clothes even. Like it was a distraction to get more stuff that he left behind,' Lewis told the station.
Now his loved ones are fearing for the worst.
'We don't know where he could be,' she told WWJ.
'He left his phone and his laptop at his apartment, so I went through his laptop and I looked for emails or any history of an airplane ticket or a bus ticket somewhere, but there was nothing.'
Lewis noted that Carl was active on campus and described him as an 'amazing person' who 'everyone cares about' a lot.
'I mean, he tells me everything. I saw him everyday,' she told WWJ.
'We would talk and text all day so this is surprising to me and surprising to everyone around him.'
Carl is described as a black male with black hair and brown eyes, and is about six-feet-tall and 145 pounds.
He is the youngest son of 87-year-old Michigan Democrat John Conyers, who represents the 13th Congressional district of Michigan, and his wife Monica.
US Rep John Conyers has been in Congress since 1965 and is the longest-serving member of the House.
Anyone with information about Conyers' disappearance is asked to contact Houston Police at 713-884-3131, or the Houston Police Missing Persons Division at 832-394-1840.
