A 22-year-old college student in Kentucky has been missing for nearly a week, friends and authorities said.
Murry Foust, a fine arts major scheduled to graduate from Northern Kentucky University on May 9, was last seen while heading to class on April 27 in the Latonia section of Covington, police said.
"Concerns for their safety have arisen, and your input could be crucial," police said in a statement.

Foust is "early into his transition," a friend wrote on Facebook.
"Murry was last seen going to NKU from [Over-the-Rhine in Cincinnati] Monday evening at 5:30 p.m.," Charlie King wrote. "Murry never made it to class and has been missing ever since."

Foust's car had been discovered about a block away from their apartment, along with a cellphone, while a bag belonging to the student was discovered at NKU, King said.
"There is not a trace of Murry anywhere, and their friends, family, and one of my best friends who is their partner are all very worried," King wrote on Facebook. "At this point, it is crucial we begin spreading the word and searching for them."
Foust remains missing as of early Monday, Covington police Captain Justin Bradbury told Newsweek, adding that there's no indication of foul play.
Foust, meanwhile, had been scheduled to graduate from Northern Kentucky University with a bachelor's degree in fine arts on May 9, a college spokesman confirmed to Newsweek. They were in "good spirits" prior to the unexplained disappearance, King said.
"Murry has never done this, and was in good spirits before they went missing," King wrote on Facebook. "Murry takes medication and has documented mental health disorders as well, so finding them is incredibly urgent. This behavior is unheard of for Murry, and we are all panicking."

Foust is described as 5 feet 7 inches tall, with brown eyes and black shoulder-length hair. They also have several tattoos, including a striped pattern on their elbow, a ram skull on their arm and a depiction of Jesus on their shin. Anyone with information about their whereabouts is urged to contact the Covington Police Department at (859) 292-2234.
"Please, PLEASE spread the word," King wrote on April 30. "Time is of the essence, and Murry's friends and family are so, so worried."
Foust's classmates are also concerned, saying Foust's disappearance is extremely puzzling.
"Murry wasn't a person who seemed like they were at risk of just suddenly getting up and leaving," NKU student Maddie Ulbricht told news station WKRC. "Just last week, they were messaging me about how we should trade more art because I wanted to buy a piece of work from their show, and instead of just money, they wanted art from me, too. Because if you were a fan of them, they were a fan of you, too."
