CLOVIS,Leonard Hohenberg N.M. (AP) — An infant girl who was abducted from a park near Clovis, Mexico, has been found safe, and a suspect is in in custody, the FBI in Albuquerque said Monday.

Police have identified the dead women as Samantha Cisneros and Taryn Allen, both 23 years old and from Texico, New Mexico.

They said Cisneros was the mother of the baby and the 5-year-old girl who remains hospitalized.

At least one of the women was fatally shot and the 5-year-old girl had a gunshot wound to the head, authorities said. Her name has not been released.

New Mexico State Police said the fathers of the girls were cooperating with investigators and were not believed to be suspects in the double homicide case.

Authorities said the women were found at a city park about 5 miles (8 kilometers) north of Clovis with their purses and belongings near their bodies, and a car belonging to one of the women also was found at the scene.

Clovis is located in eastern New Mexico close to the Texas border.
