Detroit Transwoman Missing

TransGriot Note  I'll slam the problematic misgendering of Shelley by Tammy Stables Battaglia later.  First things first.

Detroit Police investigators are looking for a 19 year old transwoman in the city who has been missing for two weeks.

Shelley Hilliard, who is also known as Treasure was last seen at 1:20 AM ET on October 23 in the 900 block of Longfellow wearing a silver dress by a cab driver she normally uses for rides according to her mother Lyniece Nelson.  

Hilliard was dropped off by the cab driver at a home where three men were waiting for her.  She immediately called the driver back voicing concern about the situation, Nelson said.
.

The driver "started to hear her say, 'What are you doing,' then scream out loud 'No,' then her phone dropped, a few muffling noises, then the phone went dead," Nelson said. "By the time he got back around the corner, there was no one in sight."

Hilliard, who models and does hair, hasn't contacted family members or posted on Facebook since that date and she typically does so every day according to Ms. Nelson.

Shelley Hilliard has a piercing on the left eyebrow and several tattoos including a design of cherries on the upper right arm, according to police.

Anyone with information is asked to call Detroit Police at 313-596-2200 or Crimestoppers at 1-800-SPEAKUP.
