Police in Kansas are searching for a seven-day-old baby girl after her mother was found fatally shot in Wichita on Thursday.

A man came home from work at around 3.30pm and found his 27-year-old live-in girlfriend mortally wounded and her baby missing from the family's apartment in the 200 block of North Brunswick Street.

The victim had last been heard from at around noon Thursday. Early Friday afternoon, she was identified by police as Laura Abarca-Nogueda.

No leads: Baby Sofia's father is not considered a suspect in the killing and abduction

Laura Abarca-Nogueda, 27, was discovered shot by her boyfriend in their apartment in Wichita

Sgt. Nikki Woodrow says Abarca-Nogueda's newborn daughter, Sofia Victoria Gonzalez Abarca, is 'considered missing and endangered.'

Police want to talk to anyone with a relationship to the victim. Police sent out an alert Thursday night saying the driver of a purple Cadillac who was a person of interest in the case has been found and questioned. He is not considered to be a suspect.

Woodrow says baby Sofia's father also is not considered a suspect.

It was announced at a press conference Friday morning that the FBI has joined the search for the missing baby, reported the station KSN.

Police say they have yet to issue an Amber Alert for the missing newborn because they do not have suspect information to put out to the public at this time, which is one of the criteria for issuing the alert.

'The Wichita Police Department is working closely with the KBI and if any facts change, and a suspect is determined, an Amber alert will be issued immediately,' according to a statement released on the police department's official Facebook page.
