Three women found murdered in South Dade. Police desperately search for missing infant

Three women were found murdered Tuesday in a remote neighborhood west of Krome Avenue and a young child was missing, leading police on a desperate chase to find the child’s father — a man police say is their main suspect.

The women killed were Hispanic, all between the ages of 40 and 80, according to police sources. The missing child is believed to be 7 months old. It wasn’t immediately clear how the women were killed.

The last time anyone heard from any of the women was at about 10:30 a.m. Tuesday, according to police. The bodies were found in a home at Southwest 219th Street and 187th Avenue.

Miami-Dade police had much of the neighborhood around the home locked down late Tuesday as they searched for the child’s father with the assist of K9s. A source familiar with the search said they believe he’s still in the area because of items that were left at the home.

This story will be updated as more information becomes available.
