Albuquerque –

Detectives from the Albuquerque Police Department are investigating the death of a newborn baby who was found deceased, wrapped in a blanket, in a dumpster on a property at 901 Rio Grande Blvd. NW. This is near Interstate 40 and Rio Grande Blvd NW.

On Tuesday, April 22, officers were dispatched to a 911 call at 3:45 AM after a security guard at the business reported that people in the area had found the baby. The baby was determined to be deceased.

The investigation is being handled by detectives with APD’s Crimes Against Children Unit.

The approximate age of the baby found was not disclosed. Authorities have not released any further information regarding the ongoing investigation.

APD Communications Director Gilbert Gallegos said homeless found a baby partially wrapped in a blanket inside the dumpster. He is unsure on the gender of the baby.

The baby could have been surrendered under the New Mexico’s Safe Haven for Infants Act. It allows a person to relinquish an infant (under 90 days old) to a hospital, law enforcement agency, or fire station without fear of prosecution for abandonment or abuse.

    1. That’s what babies are to women- Trash. Something to be disposed of. If it weren’t for vigilant fathers they’d all do it. When they can’t get away with it, they just do it secretly and blame it on Sudden Infant Death Syndrome(SIDS).

    1. Someone hates women!!!! NOT ALL WOMEN “KILL” babies!! Your still here breathing air right?! SMH!! I had 3 pregnancies, all carried to full term, 1 being born a week over due! They’re all grown up! Even have a grandbaby! But I”m still PRO-CHOICE!!! Not defending the piece of shit so called mother either! I hope she’s hemorrhaging somewhere!!! REST EASY LITTLE ONE!! this world is just to damn ugly anymore!!!!

      1. >I”m still PRO-CHOICE!!!
        I guess your kids are lucky it was convenient for you not to kill them then. You obviously have no problem with exercising the option to do so.
