Four people, including a child, were found dead inside an Indianapolis home late Saturday, and police said a baby girl who was taken from the scene was later found unharmed.

The investigation began after a woman was found shot around 8:15 p.m. and taken to a hospital, news outlets reported. Police questioned the woman and she directed them to a home where four people were discovered dead inside.

It’s unclear how the four died. At least one was a child, police said.

Additionally, 6-month-old Malia Halfacre was reported missing from the scene. A police advisory said she may be in the company of an adult male and riding in a black 2012 Chevy Impala, license plate CJA272. Community members who spotted the vehicle were asked not to approach but immediately call 911.

Sunday morning, police said the baby had been located “unharmed.” No details were given about where she was found. Authorities were still searching for the man, identified as 25-year-old Malik Halfacre. Police said he was considered “armed and dangerous.”

Police told news outlets Saturday that the deaths were possibly the result of a domestic situation.
