May 5 (UPI) — Police in rural New Mexico continued to search for a missing 10-month-old girl Sunday after officials said the infant was abducted amid a mass shooting on Friday in the town of Clovis.
Authorities issued an Amber Alert for the missing child Eleia Maria Torres, on Friday, and it was still active as of Sunday morning.
Police in Clovis said the baby went missing when two women were found dead with apparent gunshot wounds. The dead women included the child’s mother. The relationship of the other woman was not immediately known.
The mother’s 5-year-old child was also shot and suffered a head injury. She was treated locally and then transported to a regional hospital in Lubbock, Texas, where officials said she is recovering.
“It is with a heavy heart that I stand before you today to address the tragic incident that unfolded at Ned Houk Park on Friday,” Deputy Chief of Clovis Police Trevor Thron said during an update Sunday, providing as many details as he could about on the missing infant and the suspect, or suspects, who remain at large.
The missing baby has brown eyes and brown hair, measures 28 inches tall and weighs 23 pounds, according to officials.
“Our hearts are with the victim and her family during this incredibly difficult time,” Thron said. “And we fervently hope for swift and complete recovery.”
Thron reported the suspect’s identity remains unknown as do the motives for the shootings. Thron said the suspect may have been in a maroon Honda. He said Sunday that investigators found a small piece of maroon debris at the scene but that “we cannot be certain if it was part of the incident.
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. – Seniors at Manzano Mesa Multigenerational Center say broken air conditioning has left the gym above 80 degrees during peak summer heat.
Angi Gonzales Carver said she goes to the center almost every day and now worries the heat could cancel classes for seniors, adults and kids.
The city said three HVAC roof units at the center need replacement. The city said those units are 20 years old and crews have put in one portable cooler and two fans for now.
“I have a temperature measure, and it was 88 and that was without people,” said Angi Gonzales Carver.
Carver says the center recently posted a warning sign saying staff will cancel classes and activities if the gym gets hotter than 78 degrees.
“A lot of them have to sit down and they’re they’re fanning themselves,” said Carver.
The city considers all multigenerational centers cooling centers, including Manzano Mesa. The city says it plans to add two more portable units next week while it works to restore the air conditioning.
“I mean, we, as seniors, we deserve better,” said Carver.
A city spokesperson gave the following statement regarding the HVAC situation:
“The City is carrying out a planned replacement of the three HVAC roof units at Manzano Mesa Multigenerational Center, which are 20 years old. Portable cooling units support the gym and two additional portable units will be installed next week. All other areas of the facility remain fully air-conditioned and operational.”
