There’s an amber alert out for a seven-year-old girl missing from the Detroit area. Debrea Ingram is a black female, 3-feet tall and she weighs 69 pounds. Debrea has green eyes, brown hair and was wearing a white sweater, jeans, black shoes and a black jacket. She was last with 21-year-old Toria Bradley.
