Police Believe Aaleeyah Shellman Ran Away From Home

FREDERICKSON, WA - A 14-year-old Spanaway Lake High School student is missing, but police believe she may have run away from home.

Aaleeyah Shellman was last seen Sunday evening near her grandparents' house in Frederickson located along the 5300 block of 170th Street East. Shellman went for a walk around 4:30 p.m. to take a break from a stressful school project, her grandmother told police.

She has not been seen since that time. Police interviewed Shellman's peers and family on Monday and concluded she likely ran away. Police are urging Shellman to contact her family.

Shellman is described as approximately 5'6", 100 pounds, and with black shoulder-length hair. She was last seen wearing a white zip-up hooded sweatshirt, black leggings, and white shoes.

Police are asking people in the Frederickson area - especially near Canyon Road between Brookdale and 176th Street East - to check home surveillance cameras for images of Shellman.

If you see her or have information about her whereabouts, call 911.
