ST. GEORGE — An Amber Alert has been issued by the Phoenix Police Department for two young children who were allegedly abducted from their home in Arizona by their non-custodial parent, who authorities say shot the boys’ mother and her roommate Saturday morning.

Phoenix Police are looking for 46-year-old Dimas Nunez-Coronado, described as a Hispanic man with gray hair, brown eyes, standing 5 feet 6′ inches tall and weighing 190 pounds.

The missing boys are listed as 8-year-old Victor Nunez-Coronado and 5-year-old Jonathan Nunez-Coronado, who police say were taken by Dimas Nunez-Coronado, their biological father.

According to the Phoenix Police Department’s emergency dispatch center, the boys were taken from their home in a white 2009 Chevrolet 1500 pickup truck that was found abandoned by officers Saturday afternoon in the Phoenix area.

Early Saturday morning, police responded to a residence near 32nd Avenue and Van Buren Street on a double shooting where they found the boys’ 24-year-old mother and a man both dead at the scene, according to the Phoenix Police Department. Police later learned the two boys were missing from the residence and issued the amber alert.

Anyone with information about the children or suspect is asked call the the Phoenix Police Department at 602-262-6151.
