Allizon Gomez-Venture, a 16-year-old Hispanic female, was last seen on July 11, 2024, at her residence in the 100 block of Haskins Chapel Road in Shelbyville, Tennessee. She is described as 5 feet 3 inches tall, about 125 pounds, with black hair and brown eyes. At the time she was reported missing, there was no public information about what she was wearing or which direction she may have gone.

The Bedford County Sheriff’s Office opened an investigation and initially treated the case as a runaway juvenile. Investigators and the community were alarmed when it emerged that at least two other teenage girls had also been reported missing from the same foster home on Haskins Chapel Road: a 17-year-old who left the previous October and a 14-year-old missing since July 2023. Authorities have not linked Allizon’s disappearance to the separate case of 16-year-old Maria Lucas Gaspar, who was later found deceased.

Any readers who knew Allizon, the foster home on Haskins Chapel Road, or who have information about movements in that neighborhood around July 11, 2024, are asked to come forward.
