NEW MEXICO — A 19-year-old girl in New Mexico was charged with first-degree murder after distressing footage captured the moment nurses discovered the body of a newborn at the bottom of a trashcan, where the teenage mother disposed of it.

According to an article from the New York Post, Alexee Trevizo was charged last month with first-degree murder, or alternatively abusing a child resulting in death, and tampering with evidence after secretly delivering her baby boy in a bathroom at the Artesia General Hospital on January 27.

Trevizo had checked into the hospital complaining of back pain.

Hospital security footage shows Trevizo running out of her room toward a hallway bathroom shortly after 1:30 am.

Her mother followed but Trevizo reportedly would not allow her inside the bathroom.

Nurses also waited outside the bathroom — finding it suspicious that the teen had locked herself inside. After 20 minutes of waiting, one nurse is seen walking with a set of keys to the bathroom in order to get to Trevizo, but the girl opened the door just seconds before the hospital staffer was able to burst in, the video shows.

Inside, nurses found her cleaning a heavy amount of blood from the floor.

A custodian who was called to clean up the mess — which doctors originally thought was from Trevizo attempting to terminate her pregnancy — discovered a bloodied garbage bin. She alerted a nearby nurse, who peered inside the trash and discovered the body of the newborn.

Though the teenager remained adamant that the baby appeared to have been stillborn, the New Mexico Office of the Medical Investigator later determined that the baby died by homicide.

Her attorney, Gary Mitchell, previously said that Trevizo has no criminal record and should not be facing a murder charge.

Trevizo has since been released from jail and was permitted to finish the school year without an ankle monitor or house arrest while she waits to stand trial.
