A 14-year-old Georgia girl kidnapped by two gunmen during a home invasion early Tuesday has been found alive, officials said.

Ayvani Hope Perez was in good health, officials said, and was being evaluated on Wednesday afternoon.

A nationwide Amber Alert was issued after Ayvani was taken at about 2 a.m. Tuesday by armed men from her family’s home in Ellenwood, a suburb of Atlanta.

Two suspects, Juan Alberto Contreras-Rodriguez, 40, and Wildrego Jackson, 29, are in federal custody, Clayton County police chief Gregory Porter said at a news conference Wednesday afternoon. But officials are looking for other potential suspects.

Ayvani was found at a location in Conyers, Ga., “through hardcore law enforcement work,” Porter said. He didn’t release any other details about where she was found.
