BROWARD COUNTY, Fla. — A father is in jail after a statewide Amber Alert was issued Sunday in Broward County for his 4-year-old daughter.

When they arrived, they found a man fatally shot. The sheriff's office has not released his name.

This prompted an Amber Alert for the 4-year-old girl, Nathan Gingles and Mary Gingles.

The child and Nathan Gingles were found at 11 a.m. at a Walmart in North Lauderdale.

Nathan Gingles was arrested on a charge of violating a no-contact injunction with the child and mother.

The Broward Sheriff's Office later said Mary Gingles was also found shot dead inside a home in the 5800 block of Plum Bay Parkway in Tamarac.

As of Sunday night, Nathan Gingles had not been charged in the two deaths.
