A 10-month-old girl who was abducted in Clovis, New Mexico, was found Monday, according to the FBI Albuquerque Division. A suspect is also in custody, officials said.
An Amber Alert for the baby, Eleia Maria Torres, was issued on Friday.
The baby’s mother as well as two other women were found dead at Ned Houk Park, a recreational area north of Clovis, with apparent gunshot wounds, police said. Authorities also found a 5-year-old who was suffering from a head injury. The child is currently recovering at a local hospital, Deputy Chief of Clovis Police Trevor Thron said.
“Our hearts are with the victim and her family during this incredibly difficult time,” Thron said at a Sunday press conference. “And we fervently hope for swift and complete recovery.”
The suspect’s identity is still unknown.
Thron said a small piece of maroon debris was found at the scene, adding, “We cannot be certain if it was part of the incident.”
“We are still trying to gather more and for more information in regards to the suspect vehicle,” he added.
Police ask that anyone with information about this incident or the whereabouts of Eleia Maria Torres please call the Clovis Police Department or 911.
On Friday, at approximately 4:26 p.m. local time, Clovis police received a 911 call about two women found dead at Ned Houk Park.
Upon arrival, officials said two female victims with apparent gunshot wounds were found lying on the ground near a silver Dodge minivan.
Officers on the scene discovered an infant car seat, an infant stroller and a small baby bottle left at the scene, and immediately began searching for the infant, according to officials.
The women were identified as Samantha Cisneros, the mother of the baby and the injured 5-year-old, and Taryn Allen, both 23 years old, from Texico, New Mexico.
The investigation is ongoing, according to officials.
