According to multiple reports, Roland was reported missing and last seen leaving a football camp in an Uber at around 4 p.m. on Saturday,

The family had filed a missing persons report with the Houston police department. Authorities had said that Roland was last seen about 5:40 p.m. on Sunday walking alone in a store in the mall.

According to a Facebook post, She communicated with a friend through text at 12:30 a.m. on Sunday and was worried "that she was being followed by a blue truck leaving Walgreens" but the location is unknown. Roland drives a 2015 white Jeep Cherokee.

Roland's roommate told KPRC (Houston's NBC affiliate) that Rolan texted her and said a suspicious man in Walgreens was in the blue truck that "looped back around and parked behind her and Roland got out of her car and the truck sped off."

KPRC also added that Roland’s mother received a text saying, “hello the owner of this phone Courtney. I am buying an iPad.”

Several athletes and reporters have tweeted about Roland in hopes of getting any information that may help find her.

Her last communication was her saying that she was being followed by a strange man... this doesn’t sound good.
