Alexee Trevizo Case Update: Why the Supreme Court Threw out Her Viral Bodycam Confession
By Sophia Al-Mansoor
On January 27, 2023, nineteen-year-old Alexee Trevizo arrived at Artesia General Hospital complaining of severe back pain. Medical personnel admitted her and administered diagnostic testing, discovering she was in active labor. Before staff could finish their intake procedures, Trevizo locked herself inside a private hospital bathroom for roughly twenty minutes.
Housekeeping staff subsequently entered the bathroom to clean heavy traces of blood and discovered a tied plastic trash liner. Inside lay a full-term newborn boy, deceased beneath discarded paper towels. Hospital staff summoned the Artesia Police Department to the facility immediately. Officers entered Trevizo's recovery room wearing active body cameras while medical staff treated her alongside her mother.
The viral bodycam footage documented the moments that followed. An attending emergency room physician confronted Trevizo, stating that staff found the baby. Trevizo admitted on camera that she put the infant in the trash, claiming the child was not breathing when born. Within weeks, the video spread across YouTube, TikTok, and national cable broadcasts, drawing tens of millions of views and triggering fierce public outcry.
