FLORIDA (Boca Post) (Copyright © 2026) — A Florida Missing Child Alert has been issued for a 9-year-old girl, according to the Florida Department of Law Enforcement.

FDLE identified the child as Gabrielle Terrelonge. The alert lists her as a Black female with brown hair and brown eyes. She is described as 4 feet, 8 inches tall and weighing 100 pounds.

The alert is a statewide notice meant to quickly spread identifying information and prompt tips from the public. For South Florida residents, that means paying attention to the details and reporting anything that could help law enforcement locate a missing child.

FDLE is the agency issuing the alert. The request for public help and the investigation are tied to local law enforcement, with FDLE directing anyone with information to contact the Margate Police Department.

Anyone with information is asked to call the Margate Police Department at 954-972-7111 or call 911.

What happens next is driven by incoming tips and the ongoing police response. Residents should watch for official updates from FDLE and Margate Police and share only confirmed information from those sources.
