Newborn Abandoned After Street Birth in Mexico City in Critical Condition as Police Hunt Suspect

Investigators review city cameras to identify those seen in the footage, pursuing a reported escape toward the State of Mexico.

Overview

  • A cyclist found the crying infant at Euzkaro and Calzada de los Misterios in Gustavo A. Madero and alerted police, who requested paramedics.
  • IMSS Bienestar reports the baby at roughly 32 weeks’ gestation on mechanical ventilation in grave condition with a reserved prognosis after transfer to Hospital Pediátrico La Villa.
  • Initial hospital notes cited about 25 weeks’ gestation, creating conflicting medical estimates as clinicians continue assessments.
  • Surveillance video shared by journalist Carlos Jiménez shows a woman giving birth beside a parked car and leaving the newborn, with the vehicle nearly rolling over the infant.
  • The SSC and the city prosecutor’s office opened an investigation, are analyzing CCTV to locate those involved, and the search follows two other recent abandonment cases in the capital.
