CLOVIS, N.M. — Two women were found dead and a 5-year-old girl was found critically injured in a park near Clovis, New Mexico, authorities said Sunday.

Meanwhile, police said they were searching for an abducted 10-month-old girl, who is the daughter of one of the victims. No suspect has yet been identified in the case.

Police have identified the dead women as Samantha Cisneros and Taryn Allen, both 23 and from Texico, New Mexico. They said at least one of the women was fatally shot. The 5-year-old girl suffered life-threatening injuries from a gunshot wound.

New Mexico State Police issued an Amber Alert for the toddler late Friday.

Cisneros was the mother of both children and the girls’ fathers cooperated with investigators and were not considered suspects, according to police.

The women were found in a city park about 5 miles (8 kilometers) north of Clovis with their purses and belongings near the bodies, state police said.

One of the women’s cars was also found at the scene of the accident.

The FBI and Clovis Police Department are asking the public to provide any tips or tips.

Clovis is located in eastern New Mexico near the Texas border.
