A teen facing a first-degree murder charge and tampering with evidence in the death of her newborn baby boy attended her prom just weeks after she allegedly caused the baby’s death. She said she did not know she was pregnant, though friends told the Daily Mail otherwise.
Nineteen-year-old Alexee Trevizo gave birth in a locked bathroom at Artesia General Hospital on January 27 after initially denying she was either pregnant or sexually active. Then she put the full-term baby in the trash. Hospital staff discovered the hallway bathroom full of blood, which she said was from her period. When the baby was found, she claimed he was stillborn. Due to her actions, the police were called, who told her mother, “The baby’s dead. She killed the kid.”
Three months later, she and her boyfriend were happily attending prom.

“He had hair and, um, he was like purple-ish. He wasn’t bruised or nothing like that. He was purple, pink-like skin color,” a hospital cleaner can be seen telling police in video footage. He was found with the plastic bag suctioned to his face.
“I noticed the umbilical cord looked like an animal had torn it apart,” one nurse, Lori, explained. “It caught my eye and I was like, ‘God, this chick really ripped this thing apart’ because those things are hard to cut.”
The baby was sent for an autopsy, and footage showed a police officer explaining to Trevizo’s mother that based on those results, Trevizo may be arrested.
The autopsy determined that the baby boy died from ‘entrapment‘ after being put in a tied plastic bag. His death was ruled a homicide and Trevizo was finally arrested on May 10, months after her baby was found. In between her son’s death and her arrest, Trevizo attended prom with her boyfriend of two years, the baby’s father, Devyn Fierro.
Images obtained by the Daily Mail show Trevizo and Fierro arm in arm at prom just 12 weeks after their baby boy’s apparent homicide, smiling for the camera. Photographer Melody Smith said, “I had no idea about [the baby] at the time but when I looked back on the photos, I remembered her because I remember how unusual I thought it was that she wore such a short dress. She was holding her boyfriend’s arm, it was big smiles. They were excited to be at prom. You would never have known.”
She added that there “was some retaliation about the fact she had been allowed to attend [and that is when] I realized what had happened [with the baby].”
Meanwhile, pro-abortion states including Colorado and California are moving to enact legislation that may protect those who cause the deaths of their newborns either directly or indirectly. By using vague terminology such as “pregnancy outcomes” and failing to define “perinatal death,” these bills appear to allow infanticide. If enacted, when a woman is accused of killing her baby as Trevizo is, there may be no legal recourse.
“These amendments added ‘perinatal death due to pregnancy related cause,’” explained Theresa Brennan, Esq., president of Right to Life League. “The amendments do not address the fact that the bill would continue to chill reporting and investigations of ANY perinatal death because, whether that death was ‘pregnancy related’ or not could only be determined after investigation. If it turned out the infant’s death was ‘pregnancy related,’ a term which is undefined, overbroad, and meaningless since even birth is pregnancy related, an immediate private cause of action (with damages starting at $25,000 and attorney’s fees) could be taken against the person who did the investigation. The real aim of this bill is to cover up and block any investigation into late term chemical abortions which studies have proven will result in live births.”
After her arrest in May, Trevizo was released on a $100,000 bond and permitted to graduate from high school, though she did not attend the ceremony. Her trial is set to begin on October 2, 2023.
