Alexee Trevizo : A Newborn’s Tragic Death and the Chilling Hospital Discovery

This case is one of the most disturbing, tragic, and downright baffling cases I’ve come across recently. It’s a story that went viral not just because of the horrifying crime but also because of the shocking way it all unfolded on police body cam footage, capturing a moment that’s hard to believe even as you’re watching it. 

We’re diving into the case of Alexee Trevizo, a 19-year-old high school cheerleader from Artesia, New Mexico. In January 2023, she walked into her local hospital complaining of back pain, but within hours, hospital staff would discover she had given birth in a bathroom and secretly disposed of her newborn baby in a trash can. Yes, you heard that right—this case takes tragic to an entirely new level. And yet, as horrifying as this incident was, what really makes this story so haunting is the eerie calm and calculated actions that followed.

In this episode, we’re going to walk you through the full timeline of events, from Alexee’s life before that fateful night to the legal chaos that followed. We’ll be discussing how the unthinkable happened right in the middle of a hospital, in a case that raises questions about denial, secrecy, and what can drive a person to commit such a heinous act.

 Buckle up, because this case has all the twists and turns of a psychological thriller, and just when you think you’ve heard it all, there’s another layer of shock. So let’s dive right in.

Alexee in 2022

Alexee Trevizo was a seemingly normal teenager growing up in Artesia, New Mexico—a small town with a population of around 12,000. The kind of place where everyone knows everyone, Artesia isn’t exactly known for scandalous headlines. Alexee was a senior at Artesia High School, where she was on the varsity cheerleading squad, a role that came with a certain level of visibility and popularity. She had plenty of friends, a boyfriend she had been with for nearly three years, and by all appearances, she was just another teenager living a small-town life.

On the surface, Alexee had everything going for her. But as it would soon become clear, there were dark secrets brewing under that seemingly perfect facade. One of the most striking aspects of this case is how Alexee managed to keep her pregnancy hidden, not just from her friends but even from her own family—at least, that’s the story they told the authorities.

 Alexee lived with her mother, Rosa, her stepfather, and her younger sister. The relationship between Alexee and her mother was, by all accounts, very close. Rosa was described as a caring, but perhaps overbearing mother, the type to still treat Alexee as if she were much younger than her 19 years. It wasn’t uncommon for mothers and daughters to share a tight bond, especially in a small town like Artesia. However, this dynamic would become crucial in understanding how Alexee’s actions on that fateful night were shaped by a combination of secrecy, fear, and perhaps, denial.

 Despite being in a long-term relationship with her boyfriend and being in the spotlight as a cheerleader, no one seemed to notice that Alexee’s body was changing. She gained a noticeable amount of weight during her senior year, but apparently, no alarms were raised—at least, not enough for anyone to confront her about it. Some speculated later that Rosa, who was very involved in her daughter’s life, must have had suspicions about the pregnancy, but there were no reports of any confrontations or conversations about it.

Alexee’s friends and family were stunned after the events of January 2023. How could a young woman so involved in school activities, with close family ties, hide something as monumental as a full-term pregnancy? This question continues to baffle those who knew her, but as we dive deeper into the events of that night, we’ll see just how tightly Alexee held onto her secret—and the devastating consequences that followed. 

It was a night that started off like any other for Alexee Trevizo. She had come home from cheer practice on January 26, 2023, feeling exhausted. Artesia High School’s cheer team had been busy preparing for upcoming competitions, and after a long day, Alexee decided to go to bed early. But as the night wore on, something unexpected happened—she woke up with intense pain in her lower back. It was the kind of pain that was sharp and persistent, and Alexee knew it wasn’t something she could ignore.

By 11:30 p.m., Alexee’s pain was unbearable. She woke her mother, Rosa, and explained that something was seriously wrong. Rosa, concerned, decided it was best to take Alexee to the emergency room at Artesia General Hospital. The two arrived at the ER, and when they checked in, Alexee described the pain as severe and located in her lower back, leading the hospital staff to believe it could be a urinary tract infection or possibly something more serious, like an issue with her kidneys.

Once inside the hospital, Alexee’s behavior became noticeably odd. The ER doctor and nurses later recalled how Alexee seemed anxious, shifting around in her seat and refusing to let them fully examine her. She was wearing a baggy sweatshirt, and while this didn’t raise immediate suspicion, her refusal to allow a proper examination did.

As part of the hospital’s routine checks, the doctor asked Alexee if there was any chance she could be pregnant. Without hesitation, Alexee firmly denied it. She told the doctor that she was still a virgin and assured them that pregnancy was impossible. Rosa, her mother, also stood by this claim, insisting that Alexee could not be pregnant. Rosa even went so far as to tell the doctor that she had been buying pads for Alexee every month, which, in her mind, ruled out pregnancy.

Despite Alexee’s and Rosa’s adamant denials, the doctor decided to run a pregnancy test anyway—standard procedure when a young woman presents with abdominal or lower back pain. While they waited for the results, Alexee was given pain medication to help alleviate her discomfort.

The test came back positive. Alexee Trevizo was indeed pregnant, and not just newly pregnant—she was carrying a full-term baby.

This was a moment of shock for the hospital staff. Here was a teenager, claiming to be in pain from what she thought was a kidney issue, who had just been revealed to be at full term. The ER doctor ordered a follow-up blood test to confirm the pregnancy, and sure enough, the results showed that Alexee was about to give birth.

It was about 1:39 a.m. when Alexee suddenly told the nurse she needed to use the bathroom. In the hospital’s surveillance footage, Alexee can be seen clutching her lower body as she hurried down the hallway toward the restroom. What no one realized at the time was that Alexee wasn’t simply using the bathroom—she was about to give birth in secret.

Once inside the bathroom, Alexee locked the door. For the next several minutes, hospital staff became increasingly concerned as they heard repeated sounds of the toilet flushing and the paper towel dispenser being used. One nurse knocked on the door to ask if Alexee needed help, but she insisted she was fine and just having trouble using the restroom. The nurse offered assistance again, but Alexee refused, saying she didn’t need anything. Rosa, unaware of what was happening, briefly checked on her daughter, but Alexee still wouldn’t open the door. The staff’s growing suspicion eventually led one nurse to get a key to unlock the bathroom door. But before they could do so, Alexee opened the door on her own and walked back to her hospital room, leaving behind a horrific scene.

The nurses, unsure of what exactly had occurred, entered the bathroom only to be greeted with blood splattered on the walls, smeared on the floor, and around the toilet. It looked like something out of a horror movie. At first, they assumed Alexee had experienced a miscarriage, given the amount of blood. However, what they would soon discover was far worse.

In the trash can, beneath layers of paper towels and trash bags, hospital staff found something they would never forget—a newborn baby, lifeless, wrapped tightly in a plastic bag. The baby was fully developed, with dark hair, and had been placed in the trash can as if it were nothing more than waste.

When confronted about the blood and the mess in the bathroom, Alexee downplayed the situation. She told the staff that she had started her period, brushing off the blood as nothing more than menstrual bleeding. The hospital staff, already aware of her pregnancy, found this explanation implausible, but what they didn’t yet know was that the baby was hidden in the trash can just feet away from where they were standing.

As the situation continued to unfold, the hospital staff had no choice but to call the police. It wasn’t long before the truth was laid bare, and Alexee’s dark secret—the one she had managed to keep hidden for nine long months—was now exposed in the most horrifying way possible.

Once Alexee had left the bathroom, the hospital staff began to suspect that something was very wrong. The blood smeared across the walls, floor, and toilet suggested more than just a routine medical issue, and with the knowledge that Alexee was, in fact, pregnant, the staff feared she had suffered a miscarriage or worse.

It was around this time that Lori, one of the hospital’s certified nursing assistants (CNA), entered the bathroom to assess the situation. What she saw left her speechless—blood covered much of the small, enclosed space, as though someone had tried to clean it up but had done a poor job. The floor was slick with smears of blood, and it was clear that Alexee had been attempting to hide whatever had just occurred.

As Lori investigated further, something else caught her attention: the trash can. At first glance, it seemed unremarkable, with a clean liner on top. But something about it seemed off—it was heavier than it should have been for an empty can. Lori decided to lift the liner, and as she did, she felt the weight of what was inside. When she peered inside the trash can, she uncovered a horrifying truth.

Wrapped tightly in a hospital trash bag, and buried beneath layers of paper towels and other debris, was the body of a newborn baby. Lori could see the tiny baby through the translucent plastic—cold, unmoving, and unmistakably lifeless. It was a discovery so shocking that Lori immediately called for help, knowing that they had just uncovered something far more sinister than a simple medical emergency.

The staff quickly called the ER doctor to the scene, who then transferred the baby to a nearby trauma room to assess the situation. As the doctor opened the bag, they were met with a heart-wrenching sight: a fully developed newborn boy, wrapped in a trash bag, discarded like garbage. Despite the overwhelming grief that came with such a discovery, the medical team had a job to do—they checked for any signs of life. Unfortunately, it was clear that the baby was gone.

The baby boy weighed 5 pounds and 9 ounces and was about 19 inches long. He had a full head of dark hair and, based on his development, appeared to have been carried to term. The medical team noted that the baby’s umbilical cord was still attached, although it appeared to have been torn in a rough, almost savage manner, as though Alexee had ripped it away herself.

With the newborn’s body now in front of them, the hospital staff was left to process what they had just witnessed. There were no signs of life—no heartbeat, no movement, no breath. The baby had been alive at some point, but his life had been tragically cut short in the most brutal way imaginable. The doctor, overcome with emotion, later remarked that the baby had no chance—Alexee had given them no opportunity to save him.

In the immediate aftermath of this horrific discovery, the hospital staff quickly called the police. They knew this was no ordinary medical emergency—this was a crime, one that would have serious legal consequences for Alexee Trevizo. As law enforcement made their way to the hospital, the staff tried to make sense of what had happened. How could a seemingly normal high school cheerleader go from living a regular teenage life to giving birth in a hospital bathroom and throwing her newborn in the trash?

Soon, Alexee and her mother, Rosa, were confronted with the news. The doctor gathered the two of them in the hospital room and explained the gravity of the situation. He told them that they had found a full-term newborn baby in the bathroom trash can, and the baby had died. Rosa’s reaction was one of disbelief and confusion, but Alexee’s response was far more chilling.

When the doctor asked Alexee about the baby, her response was shockingly cold. She told him that the baby hadn’t cried and wasn’t moving, so she didn’t think it was alive. She claimed that the baby “just came out” of her, and in her panic, she didn’t know what to do—so she put him in the trash. Her use of the word “it,” rather than “he” or “my baby,” struck the doctor as especially disturbing. She spoke about her newborn son as though he were an object, something to be discarded rather than cared for. 

The shock wasn’t just limited to the hospital staff. Rosa, Alexee’s mother, seemed completely blindsided. According to reports, Rosa was initially angry, accusing Alexee of lying about being pregnant. The two had been close—so close that Rosa claimed to have bought Alexee menstrual pads every month, convinced her daughter was still getting her period. But now, faced with the reality that Alexee had hidden her pregnancy for nine months and had just delivered a baby, Rosa’s reaction turned to horror. She asked her daughter, “How could you do this?” But the question remained unanswered. 

Meanwhile, the hospital staff began cleaning up the bloodied bathroom, still reeling from the shock of what they had just witnessed. The gruesome scene had left its mark on everyone involved, from the CNA who had discovered the baby to the doctor who had the unfortunate task of explaining the situation to the police. 

As officers arrived on the scene, the scope of the tragedy became clear. This wasn’t just a case of a girl hiding her pregnancy—this was a homicide. The baby, referred to as Baby John Doe, had been born alive, based on the autopsy findings. His lungs had taken in air, meaning that at some point, the newborn had been capable of breathing. However, something had gone horribly wrong, and instead of crying for help or calling for assistance, Alexee had chosen to dispose of her baby in the most unimaginable way.

With the police now involved, the case would soon take a dramatic turn. What started as a seemingly routine visit to the ER had escalated into an investigation that would change Alexee’s life forever.

The discovery of the newborn in the hospital bathroom sent shockwaves through the small town of Artesia, New Mexico, and the investigation into the incident began immediately. Once the police arrived at Artesia General Hospital, the situation escalated from a tragic medical emergency to a full-fledged criminal investigation.

The lead investigators, along with officers from the Artesia Police Department, began collecting evidence from the hospital room and bathroom where Alexee Trevizo had given birth and hidden her newborn. Blood samples, the plastic trash bag, and the baby’s body were all carefully documented and sent for forensic analysis. The autopsy report would later reveal critical details about the baby’s final moments.

The officers also began their first round of interviews, starting with the hospital staff who had been present that night. Each member of the medical team relayed the same series of disturbing events—how Alexee had arrived complaining of back pain, had denied being pregnant, and then had gone to the bathroom only to leave behind a horrifying scene. The timeline of the night was becoming clearer, and all evidence pointed to Alexee as the sole person responsible for the baby’s death.

The next step was confronting Alexee and her mother. Police body cam footage captured the tense interaction between law enforcement and the Trevizo family, footage that would later go viral and become a key piece of public understanding in the case. The video shows officers entering Alexee’s hospital room, where she is still lying in bed, weak and recovering from the birth. Rosa, Alexee’s mother, stands at her side, still processing the shocking news.

One of the most striking moments in the footage is the conversation between the lead officer and Alexee. The officer calmly but firmly explains to her the severity of the situation, telling Alexee that they had found a deceased newborn baby in the hospital bathroom trash can and that she was under investigation for the baby’s death. He tells her that she has a right to remain silent and that anything she says could be used against her in court. 

Throughout the footage, Alexee appears emotionally detached, avoiding eye contact and remaining silent as the officer lays out the facts. Rosa, however, is more vocal. She breaks down in tears, expressing disbelief and shock that her daughter could be involved in such a crime. At one point, Rosa even begins scolding Alexee, demanding answers as to how she could have hidden her pregnancy and, worse, how she could have done something so unthinkable as to leave her baby to die in a trash can.

But Alexee remains mostly silent, showing little emotion. She continues to tell the officers that she hadn’t known she was pregnant and that the baby “just came out” while she was in the bathroom. According to Alexee, she didn’t think the baby was alive, which is why she wrapped him in a trash bag and discarded him.

The police, however, weren’t buying this explanation. Based on the hospital’s medical records and the sheer size and development of the baby, it was clear that this wasn’t a case of a miscarriage or an accidental birth. This was a full-term pregnancy, and the baby had likely been alive for at least a few moments after birth, as the autopsy would later confirm. The forensic evidence suggested that Alexee had given birth to a healthy baby boy but had chosen to abandon him in a way that ensured he wouldn’t survive.

As investigators began building their case, more troubling details emerged. The autopsy of the baby, conducted by the New Mexico Office of the Medical Investigator, revealed that the baby had been born alive, as indicated by the presence of air in his lungs. The autopsy ruled that the cause of death was homicide, citing “asphyxia due to airway obstruction.” Essentially, the baby had suffocated after being placed in the trash bag.

With these findings, police began treating the case as a potential first-degree murder investigation. The charges against Alexee Trevizo were growing more serious by the day. Not only had she hidden her pregnancy, but she had also given birth in secret and made a conscious decision to dispose of her newborn in a way that ensured his death.

On May 11, 2023, after months of investigation, police officially arrested Alexee Trevizo on charges of first-degree murder and tampering with evidence. The news of her arrest stunned the community, especially those who knew Alexee from school and cheerleading. How could someone who seemed so normal—someone with friends, a boyfriend, and an active school life—do something so horrific?

Alexee’s mugshot

In the wake of her arrest, Alexee’s defense team began crafting their strategy. They argued that Alexee had been in a state of panic, not fully understanding what was happening when she gave birth. According to her lawyers, Alexee had suffered from “denial of pregnancy,” a psychological condition in which a woman is unaware or in denial about her pregnancy until she goes into labor. They claimed that Alexee had not known she was pregnant, and when the baby was born, she was overwhelmed with fear and confusion. 

The defense also emphasized Alexee’s age and lack of maturity, portraying her as a scared teenager who had made a terrible mistake in a moment of panic. They painted a picture of a girl who had grown up in a strict household, where the pressure to be perfect may have led her to hide her pregnancy out of fear of disappointing her family. 

But the prosecution wasn’t swayed by this narrative. They argued that Alexee’s actions went beyond panic—they pointed to the cold, calculated way she had discarded the baby and the fact that she had lied to hospital staff, claiming she wasn’t pregnant and later downplaying the incident as if it were nothing. To them, this was evidence of someone who knew exactly what she was doing and had made a conscious decision to get rid of the baby. 

In the months following her arrest, Alexee was released on bail and remained under house arrest as she awaited trial. The case garnered significant media attention, with many people expressing outrage over the crime and debating whether Alexee’s actions were the result of panic, denial, or something more sinister. 

As Alexee Trevizo’s case moved toward trial, the legal battle over her fate became one of the most closely watched in New Mexico. With charges of first-degree murder and tampering with evidence looming over her, Alexee faced the possibility of spending the rest of her life behind bars if convicted. The trial, set to begin in early 2024, promised to be a dramatic courtroom showdown between the prosecution, who sought to portray Alexee as a calculated killer, and the defense, who would argue that she was a frightened teenager overwhelmed by a situation she didn’t fully understand. 

One of the central issues at trial would be Alexee’s state of mind at the time of the crime. The defense was expected to rely heavily on the argument that Alexee had suffered from “denial of pregnancy,” a psychological condition in which a woman is unaware of or refuses to accept that she is pregnant. While denial of pregnancy is rare, it has been documented in medical literature, particularly in cases involving young or vulnerable women who are unprepared for the realities of pregnancy and childbirth.

The defense planned to bring in expert witnesses, including psychologists and medical professionals, to testify that Alexee had likely been in a state of psychological shock during the pregnancy and at the time of the baby’s birth. They would argue that Alexee’s actions—while tragic—were not those of a cold-blooded murderer but rather of a confused and scared young girl who didn’t know how to handle an impossible situation. In their view, Alexee should not be convicted of murder but should instead face a lesser charge, such as involuntary manslaughter.

Additionally, the defense was likely to emphasize Alexee’s youth and inexperience. At just 19 years old, Alexee was barely out of high school when the incident occurred. They would argue that her age and lack of maturity contributed to her poor decision-making in the aftermath of the birth. According to the defense, Alexee had been raised in a strict household where she feared judgment and punishment, which may have led her to hide the pregnancy and act in panic when the baby was born.

But the prosecution had a very different view of the case. From the beginning, they framed Alexee’s actions as deliberate and premeditated. They pointed to the fact that Alexee had hidden her pregnancy for nine months, even denying it when asked directly by hospital staff, as evidence that she knew exactly what she was doing. The prosecution would likely argue that Alexee had multiple opportunities to ask for help or come clean about her situation, but instead, she chose to conceal the birth and dispose of her newborn in a trash can, which showed a clear intent to cover up the crime. 

The prosecution’s case would rest heavily on the autopsy report, which revealed that the baby had been born alive. The presence of air in the baby’s lungs suggested that he had taken at least a few breaths before being placed in the trash, and the cause of death—suffocation due to airway obstruction—indicated that the baby had died as a result of being wrapped in a plastic bag. The prosecution would argue that Alexee’s decision to place her baby in the trash, rather than alert hospital staff or call for help, was a conscious choice that led directly to the baby’s death.

In seeking a conviction for first-degree murder, the prosecution would need to prove that Alexee’s actions were both premeditated and intentional. This meant showing that she had planned to get rid of the baby before or after the birth, rather than acting in a moment of panic or confusion. If convicted of first-degree murder, Alexee would face the harshest possible sentence—life in prison without the possibility of parole.

 However, even if the jury were to find that Alexee’s actions didn’t rise to the level of first-degree murder, she could still be convicted of a lesser charge, such as second-degree murder or manslaughter. Second-degree murder would require the prosecution to prove that Alexee acted with “reckless disregard for human life,” meaning that while she may not have planned the killing, her actions were so reckless that they resulted in the baby’s death. A second-degree murder conviction would carry a sentence of 15 to 25 years in prison.

Manslaughter, on the other hand, would be the lightest possible charge, carrying a sentence of 4 to 8 years. To secure a manslaughter conviction, the defense would need to convince the jury that Alexee had acted without intent to kill and that her actions were the result of panic or confusion. While this would still hold Alexee accountable for the baby’s death, it would acknowledge that her actions were not premeditated or deliberate.

As the trial approached, public opinion was sharply divided. Some saw Alexee as a victim of her circumstances—a young girl who had been overwhelmed by fear and societal pressure, leading her to make a terrible mistake. Others viewed her as a cold and calculated killer who had chosen to end her baby’s life rather than face the consequences of being a teenage mother.

Adding to the complexity of the case was the viral police body cam footage, which had been widely circulated online. Many who watched the footage were struck by Alexee’s detached demeanor during her interaction with the police. Her lack of visible emotion, combined with the horrific nature of the crime, left many wondering whether she felt any remorse at all for what had happened. However, the defense argued that Alexee’s flat affect could be explained by the trauma of the event and the psychological shock she had experienced.

No matter the outcome, the trial of Alexee Trevizo was set to be a legal battle over not just the facts of the case, but the very nature of teenage psychology, panic, and responsibility. If convicted of first-degree murder, Alexee’s life would be forever changed. But even a lesser conviction could result in years behind bars, leaving Alexee to grapple with the consequences of a decision made in the darkest moment of her life.

One of the most difficult aspects of this case is understanding the mindset that could lead someone to commit such an act. Was Alexee truly in denial about her pregnancy, unable to process the reality of her situation until it was too late? Or was this a case of cold, calculated decision-making by a young woman who chose to discard her child rather than face the consequences of becoming a teenage mother? The answ     er, as is often the case in tragedies like this, may lie somewhere in between.

What is clear, however, is that this case has sparked a larger conversation about the pressures young women face when dealing with unexpected pregnancies. For Alexee, growing up in a small town, the fear of judgment and societal shame may have been overwhelming. Her mother, Rosa, was deeply involved in her life, and Alexee may have feared disappointing her family or disrupting her plans for the future. In this context, Alexee’s actions—while inexcusable—become a little more understandable. She may have felt trapped, unable to ask for help or confide in anyone about her pregnancy.

But at the same time, this case highlights the importance of recognizing the signs of pregnancy and addressing it early on. Whether through better sex education, mental health support, or open family discussions, it’s crucial that young women feel empowered to seek help when faced with an unexpected pregnancy. In Alexee’s case, the baby’s death might have been preventable if she had received the right kind of support and guidance during her pregnancy.

The legal system, too, plays a role in shaping the outcome of cases like this. The charges against Alexee—ranging from first-degree murder to tampering with evidence—are a reflection of how seriously the law views the loss of an innocent life. But the eventual verdict in Alexee’s case will hinge on more than just the facts. It will force the jury to grapple with complex issues of intent, panic, and the capacity for rational decision-making under extreme stress.

In the end, there are no winners in this case. A newborn baby, who had his entire life ahead of him, is dead. His mother, Alexee, now faces the prospect of spending the rest of her life in prison.

Alexee Trevizo’s defense team has signaled their intent to sue Artesia General Hospital, focusing on claims of medical negligence that they argue contributed to the death of Alexee’s newborn. This legal strategy is closely tied to her criminal defense, as her lawyers are attempting to shift part of the responsibility onto the hospital.

The key argument from the defense revolves around the administration of morphine during Alexee’s labor. According to her defense team, the morphine and other medications given to Alexee while she was in labor suppressed the baby’s breathing, leading to or exacerbating the newborn’s death. The defense is framing this as a critical failure of hospital protocol, suggesting that the hospital’s actions (or lack of appropriate intervention) were directly responsible for the baby’s inability to breathe after birth.

Additionally, Alexee’s legal team has pointed to potential HIPAA violations by the hospital, though the specifics of these alleged violations have not been fully detailed. These claims likely relate to the release of sensitive medical information, possibly tied to the body cam footage from the police or the hospital’s handling of Alexee’s condition and the circumstances surrounding the birth.

The proposed wrongful death lawsuit would seek to hold the hospital accountable for its role in the baby’s death, with the aim of either mitigating Alexee’s criminal charges or at least providing a parallel narrative that places blame on hospital staff. This civil action might allege that the hospital failed in its duty of care to Alexee and her newborn, thus contributing to the tragic outcome.

Ultimately, this strategy aligns with the defense’s broader narrative, which emphasizes Alexee’s mental state and medical treatment rather than framing her actions as intentional and premeditated murder. The defense may use expert testimony to argue that, had the hospital acted differently, the baby’s life could have been saved.

If successful, this lawsuit could not only shift some of the public focus onto the hospital’s procedures but also potentially serve as leverage in the criminal case, complicating the prosecution’s portrayal of Alexee as fully responsible for her actions.

As of November 21, 2024, the status of any impending trial for Alexee Trevizo is unknown.
