A week-old newborn girl who went missing after her mother was shot to death was found alive Saturday in Dallas, police said.

Sofia Victoria Gonzalez Abarca was found alive and healthy while two adults were taken into custody, Wichita Police Chief Gordon Ramsay said Saturday morning.

Investigators on Friday evening identified a suspect in what they called a 'homicide/abduction' and determined that the suspect had fled to Dallas.

Sofia's mother, 27-year-old Laura Abarca-Nogueda, was found fatally shot at her home in Wichita, Kansas on Thursday.

Laura Abarca-Nogueda (pictured with her daughter), 27, was found shot dead Thursday in Wichita, Kansas. Sofia went missing and was recovered Saturday in Dallas, Texas

Sofia, who is now in protective custody, will be returned to her family as soon as possible, Ramsay said according to the Wichita Eagle.

The suspects knew the mother, according to Ramsay, who declined to elaborate further at a news conference.

The two adults were being interviewed Saturday. No one had been charged as of the morning.

Police and the FBI had been looking for the child since Thursday, the day Abarca-Nogueda's live-in boyfriend, Sofia's father, came home from work and found her body.

The boyfriend wasn't being looked at as a suspect.

Law enforcement received a tip about 4:30 am Saturday that the child was in Dallas and served a search warrant, Ramsay said.

'This is the best possible outcome to a very sad case,' Ramsay said at a news conference.

The investigation remains active and there could be more suspects to come.

Abarca-Nogueda was a 'loving mother', 'devoted girlfriend' as well as a 'caring sister, daughter and aunt, according to a Go Fund Me page set up to cover her funeral expenses.
