Police share body cam footage after hospital discovers deceased infant in teenager’s trashcan.
Disturbing Police Body Cam Footage Shows Teen Accused of Killing Newborn
Overview
Alexee Trevizo, a 19-year-old girl, is facing a charge of first-degree murder for allegedly smothering her newborn baby in a hospital bathroom in January. The police in Artesia, New Mexico, released footage of the moment officers detained Trevizo.
The Incident
One officer explains the situation to another officer in the footage. Trevizo is accused of putting the baby in the trash can and then putting another clean liner over the top of it. A hospital nurse found the dead child after a housekeeper found blood in the bathroom.
The Suspect’s Admission
The suspect admitted her knowledge of the baby, while denying that the child was responsive. Trevizo said, “I’m sorry. It came out of me and I didn’t know what to do… It was not crying or nothing.”
The Legal Proceedings
Trevizo is facing a charge of first-degree murder in connection with the killing. A New Mexico court has authorized Trevizo’s release from jail on a $100,000 bond, allowing her to attend high school classes and a graduation ceremony under her bond conditions. Prosecutors plan on providing jurors with an alternate charge of child abuse resulting in death.
Conclusion
The autopsy later determined that the newborn baby’s cause of death was a homicide. The release of the police body cam footage has shed light on the disturbing incident.
