A man who had been the subject of a nationwide search after his estranged wife and a baby girl were found shot to death in Kansas was arrested Monday in Texas.
The man's 3-year-old son, who had been the subject of an Amber Alert, was found with him and was not injured.
Andrew Anthony Guerrero, 23, was being held at jail in Denton, said Officer Jim Bryan, a spokesman for Denton police.
Police in Kansas City, Kan., had issued an Amber Alert for the boy, Seth Guerrero, after his mother, Nicolette Lyons-Reed, 23, and her 8-month-old daughter, Leah Lyons-Reed, were found shot to death Sunday in their Kansas City, Kan., home.
Byran said the boy was in good condition and was placed with Child Protective Services.
Guerrero was charged late Sunday in Kansas City, Kan., with one count of aggravated interference with parental custody, said Wyandotte County District Attorney Jerry Gorman. Any other charges against Guerrero will be determined after he meets with the police, Gorman said.
Guerrero was arrested and the boy was found safe about 8:30 a.m. at a Motel 6 near Interstate 35 in Denton, about 35 miles northwest of Dallas. Police said a truck matching the description of Guerrero's was reported at the motel at 10:45 p.m. Sunday.
Denton police staked out the scene all night until the man emerged from his room.
Police said Leah's father is currently in the military. Friends and neighbors of the victim told The Kansas City Star that Guerrero fathered Seth, but has since become estranged from Lyons-Reed.  |
