Police are asking for help finding a 23-year-old man and frequent camper last seen in Charlotte Monday.

Miller was last seen at Mallard Green Apartments, which sit in the 9800 block of Mary Alexander Road directly across from University of North Carolina at Charlotte, according to a CMPD news release. He was wearing a white T-shirt, black shorts and white socks with Adidas slides.

CMPD spokesperson Michael Allinger did not know if Miller is a UNCC student.
