19-Year-Old New Mexico Mother Admits To Tossing Newborn To Hospital Trash Can
A New Mexico teenager admitted to giving birth in a hospital bathroom and hiding the baby inside a trash can, where it was later found dead, recently released police body camera footage shows.
Alexee Trevizo, 19, was charged last week with first-degree murder, or alternatively abusing a child resulting in death, and tampering with evidence after secretly delivering her baby boy at Artesia General Hospital on Jan. 27, Artesia Police Department said.
“I’m sorry. It came out of me and I didn’t know what to do,” Trevizo said immediately after a doctor told her and her mother that they found the dead newborn inside the bathroom.

“Lexee I told you about this! I just asked you baby to tell me the truth!” her distraught mother responded. “I was scared,” Trevizo said before telling the nurse that “it was not crying or nothing.”
“What did you do to it?” her mother demanded, growing visibly angry, until doctors stepped in to prevent her from interfering before the police investigation. Trevizo arrived at the hospital, located roughly 80 miles from the New Mexico-Texas border, earlier that day with back pain.
The New Mexico Office of the Medical Investigator later determined that the baby died by homicide. Trevizo’s mother appeared shocked upon learning her daughter had gone to extreme lengths to hide her pregnancy.
“Lexee, have you watched the news about what the girls do to their babies and they go to jail?” the frustrated mother yelled.
