10-Year-Old Armani Shannon Reported Missing; Last Believed to Be With Father in Metro Detroit Area

A 10-year-old boy, Armani Shannon, has been reported missing, with family members saying he has not been seen by his mother since December 2024.

According to information shared publicly, Armani was last believed to be with his father, William Shannon, at a motel described as having green doors and red curtains in the Oak Park / Royal Oak area. Some online posts have speculated that the location may match the Seville Motel on Woodward Avenue, though authorities have not publicly confirmed a specific motel.

Armani previously attended Edison Elementary School but was reportedly withdrawn and is said to be homeschooled, according to conversations referenced with school officials.

Posts circulating online also claim that law enforcement recently encountered the father living in a storage unit, where he allegedly told officers that Armani was with his mother. The mother disputes that claim and says she has not had contact with her son.

At this time, it is unclear whether law enforcement has officially classified Armani’s case as a missing persons investigation or a custody-related matter. No Amber Alert information has been publicly confirmed.

Anyone with verified information about Armani Shannon’s whereabouts should contact local law enforcement in Oakland County, Michigan, immediately rather than relying solely on social media posts.

If you are a parent or guardian facing a similar situation, it is important to document communication attempts and seek assistance through legal channels and child welfare authorities to ensure the child’s safety and well-being.
