A 19-year-old who allegedly killed her newborn son by stuffing him in a hospital trash can was released from jail on $100,000 bond ahead of her high school graduation.
In December 2022, investigators claim Alexee Trevizo went to an Artesia, New Mexico hospital complaining of severe back pain. She was treated and released. A few weeks later, she went back complaining of back pain again, but while she was there, hospital staff members believe she locked herself inside a bathroom, gave birth, then stuffed the baby into the bathroom’s trash can.
“The baby’s dead,” a hospital worker can be heard saying to officers on body camera footage. “She killed the kid.”
A medical examiner classified the newborn’s death as a homicide, noting the death was not consistent with a stillbirth as the little baby boy had air in his lungs.
After four months of investigating, Trevizo was arrested on May 10 and charged with first-degree murder, child abuse and tampering with evidence. The teen was released Tuesday on $100,000 bond.
Her release stipulations require her to follow a 7 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. curfew — but she is not required to be on house arrest or wear a GPS ankle bracelet.
Trevizo will be allowed to attend her high school graduation on May 25.
Trevizo’s arraignment has not been scheduled in court yet.
