An Amber Alert has been issued Friday for a 10-month-old after a horrifying incident at a local park in New Mexico, where two women were found dead and a female child was discovered injured.
Authorities initiated an alert after receiving a 911 call around 4:30 p.m. about a dead body, Clovis Police Department said in a media release. The Clovis Police Department reported that Samantha Cisneros and Taryn Allen, both 23 and from Texico, New Mexico, were discovered near a silver Dodge minivan. Both women appeared to have been shot, and one of them was the mother of a missing infant Eleia Maria Torres and an injured child found at the scene.
A female child, suffering from a gunshot wound to her head, was quickly transported to a hospital in Texas for treatment, the release stated. At the scene, authorities observed an infant car seat, a stroller, and a baby bottle, indicating that an infant was likely present during the incident. They immediately began searching for the missing infant, Eleia, but she was not found at the park. (RELATED: REPORT: AMBER Alert Ends In Grief After Bodies Of Mom And Son Discovered)
