UPDATE:
The Wayne County Medical Examiner’s office has confirmed the death of 19-year-old Shelley Hilliard, a transgender teen also known as Treasure, after her mother identified her torso this morning.
The teen, who was born Henry Hilliard, went missing in the early hours of Oct. 23 and was last seen on the 900 block of Longfellow on Detroit’s west side.
The Medical Examiner’s office received her torso later on Oct. 23, and Lyniece Nelson, Hilliard’s mother, identified her this morning.
Nelson said she had no idea who might’ve done this.
“She was loved by a lot people, a lot of friends a lot of family,” Nelson said. “She just brought joy to everyone that she came in contact with. She was always there for her family.”

Detroit Police investigators are searching for a transgender teen who has been missing for two weeks.
Henry Hilliard, Jr., 19, also known as Shelley or Treasure, was last seen at 1:20 a.m. Oct. 23 in the 900 block Longfellow wearing a silver dress, according to request for help issued by the Detroit Police Monday.
A cab driver that Hilliard often used for rides dropped Hilliard off at a home where three men were waiting for her, his mother, Lyniece Nelson, said today.
But Hilliard 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, both which typically happen every day, Nelson said.
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.

Hilliard is described by police as 5-foot-9 and 165 pounds with hazel eyes, red or auburn hair and a light brown complexion. Hilliard was wearing a silver dress when he went missing.
He also has a piercing on his left eyebrow and several tattoos.
His mother, Lyniece Nelson, said he has tattoos of a band of cherries around his upper right arm and a paw print on his left shoulder.
Hilliard’s mother said he was last seen by a cab driver who dropped him at the west-side house where three men were waiting for him on the sidewalk. A few minutes later, Hilliard called the driver back, distressed.
Nelson said she didn’t know why Hilliard was in the area because “we don’t associate on the west side.”

That is so awful! What’s even worse is her killers may never be brought to justice, and the police don’t care enough to persue them.
