Nathan Gingles now faces three murder charges, but police have not identified the other two victims.

Florida cops now say that three people were shot dead in an abduction incident on Sunday that prompted an Amber Alert for a 4-year-old girl.

Police initially responded to a home in Tamarac around 6 a.m., saying they found a man there shot dead and the little girl and her mother missing. They said they believed the pair may be with girl’s father, 43-year-old Nathan Gingles, who was going through a divorce from the girl’s mother, as CrimeOnline reported.

About 5 hours later, police said they found Gingles and the little girl — and the mother, 34-year-old Mary Gingles, shot dead, either in the home where the man was dead or very nearby.

Gingles was arrested at a Walmart in North Lauderdale and initially charged with violating an order of protection from domestic violence and interfering with custody.

On Monday morning, court document showed Nathan Gingles was facing three murder charges. A neighbor told WPLG the third count was for a nephew of a nearby homeowner. There was some indication on social media that the first man found dead may have been Mary Gingles’ father. Police have still made no further statements since early Sunday afternoon, just after Nathan Gingles’ arrest.

A neighbor showed WPLG footprints on the ground Monday morning, telling a reporter that one set belonged to Mary Gingles, who ran from door to door seeking help before she was gunned down.

Mary Gingles had obtained an order of protection against her husband a year ago, but the case was closed on July 10. She filed again and received another order of protection in December.
