Alexee Trevizo<\/a>, who is facing a first-degree murder charge, a charge of child abuse resulting in death, and a charge of tampering with evidence in connection with her newborn son’s death, has filed a lawsuit<\/a> against the hospital where her son’s body was found.<\/p>\n

In January, Trevizo went to Artesia General Hospital complaining of back pain. Hours later, her full-term baby, reportedly born at 38 weeks, was found dead, concealed in a hospital garbage can. She had denied being pregnant, but lab work run by doctors showed that she was. While at the hospital, she locked herself in the bathroom for an extended period of time. A custodial staff member later found a large blood spill in the bathroom and called in two nurses who found the baby in the garbage.<\/p>\n

An autopsy determined that the baby boy died from \u2018entrapment<\/a>\u2018 after being put in a tied plastic bag and that there was air in his lungs, proving that he took a breath. His death was ruled a homicide and Trevizo was arrested<\/a> on May 10. In between her son\u2019s death and her arrest, Trevizo attended prom with her boyfriend at the time, the baby\u2019s father, Devyn Fierro.<\/p>\n
