ALBUQUERQUE (KRQE) - Bernalillo County Sheriff's Deputies have charged Juan Galindo, 37, for the rape and death of his girlfriend's 1-month-old infant daughter.

Deputies say around 4:00 this morning, family members called 911 from a home in the 1900 block of Lake Southwest.  

When deputies arrived, they found the baby girl already dead. Medical investigators were also called to the scene. 

Sources tell News 13, Galindo, told them he was high on heroin when all this happened, and that the child's mother was at a casino.

Galindo was charged with aggravated rape and child abuse resulting in death. 

Family members tell News 13 the girl's mother had been dating Galindo for about a year.

At this time officials have not confirmed the man's relationship to the baby but believe he is the baby's father.  They are conducting a DNA test to confirm that information.
