(WEST RICHLAND, Wash.) — A former police officer is on the run after allegedly killing his ex-wife and girlfriend and abducting a 1-year-old child in Washington state, according to authorities.<\/p>\n

Elias Huizar allegedly killed a woman outside Wiley Elementary School on Monday afternoon, according to West Richland police.<\/p>\n

Hours later, authorities said they found another homicide victim, “a known associate of the suspect,” while serving a search warrant at Huizar’s residence.<\/p>\n

The victims were Huizar’s ex-wife and current girlfriend, according to the Washington State Patrol, but officials have not released the identity of either woman.<\/p>\n

Huizar served as a police officer in Yakima, Washington, from June 2013 to February 2022, the department said. He resigned “immediately following discipline,” a spokesperson for the department told ABC News. The department did not immediately respond to a request for comment on the circumstances of the discipline.<\/p>\n

An Amber Alert has also been issued after authorities say Huizar abducted a 1-year-old, Roman Huizar, and took off, possibly for Mexico, according to the Washington State Patrol. Authorities did not elaborate on the connection between the suspect and child.<\/p>\n

Police are searching for a silver, 2009 Toyota Corolla with Washington plates CBZ4745. Anyone who sees the suspect or the vehicle should call 911, police said.<\/p>\n

On Tuesday morning, police said Huizar was possibly seen in Portland, Oregon, overnight, driving a black sedan.<\/p>\n

In addition to considering Huizar “armed” and “dangerous,” police said he is “likely to commit more crimes.”<\/p>\n
