Artesia Teen Accused of Newborn Murder Released from Jail

Publish date: 2024-05-04

In a disturbing event, a 19-year-old individual named Alexee Trevizo has been charged with the heinous crime of murdering her newborn son within the confines of a hospital restroom in Artesia.

Artesia Police Department came into the picture when a distress call was received about discovering a newborn baby in a hospital bathroom on January 27. 

Court documents indicate that the police were soon led to the suspect, Trevizo.

Upon being identified, Trevizo was on her way to Lovelace Medical Center in Roswell via an emergency helicopter flight and thus was not interrogated at the Artesia hospital.

According to court files, the police discovered that Trevizo had arrived at the emergency room complaining of lower back pain and adamantly denied pregnancy. 

After a lab test confirmed her pregnancy, the news was conveyed to Trevizo and the hospital staff. This led to the woman barricading herself in a bathroom.

As soon as the staff announced their need to use the bathroom, Trevizo acquiesced and unlocked the door.

The gruesome scene that met the nursing staff led them to inform the police that the toilet was drenched in blood, following which immediate treatment was administered to Trevizo.

A thorough search of the toilet and the top of the trash can yielded no results initially. However, when a staff member disposed of the trash bag, its unusual weight aroused suspicion. 

Upon closer examination by two nurses, the court document revealed they had made a horrifying discovery: a lifeless newborn boy within the bag.

Following her medical evacuation to a Roswell hospital, Trevizo was interviewed and charged with first-degree murder. 

A recent court proceeding has allowed Trevizo conditional release from jail, with the mandate of adhering to a curfew and permission to attend school and graduation under restrictions.

The pretrial hearing of Trevizo’s case is set for September 11, with the jury trial for the murder charge scheduled to commence on October 2.
