There is a local, state, and federal investigation into the tragic case of two women reportedly murdered, a 5-year-old shot, and a 10-month-old baby abducted in New Mexico.
Around 4:26 p.m. on May 3, police were notified that there were two injured females at Ned Houk Park in Clovis, New Mexico. The two women were dead from gunshot wounds at the crime scene near a silver Dodge minivan, according to police.
A 5-year-old girl was also allegedly found at the crime scene suffering from a gunshot wound to the head. The girl was rushed to the local Plains Regional Medical Center. The girl was later transferred to a hospital in Lubbock, Texas.
Clovis Police Department Deputy Chief Trevor Thron said the 5-year-old girl was receiving care and recovering.
There was an infant car seat, an infant stroller, and a small baby bottle left at the crime scene.
Also, a 10-month-old baby was allegedly stolen from the alleged murder scene. Authorities named the infant as Eleia Maria Torres.
