Newborn baby girl found dead at university student housing apartment complex, police say
LOS ANGELES (KABC) — Los Angeles police are investigating after a newborn baby was found dead near the University of Southern California campus.
The 19-hour-old baby girl was found at a student housing apartment complex after police responded to a call Monday night.
About an hour earlier, first responders went to the same location to help a 20-year-old woman experiencing breathing trouble. She was taken to an area hospital.
There was no immediate word on whether the two incidents were related.
“Just kind of left in shock. It’s just a tough thing and it’s right in front of your eyes,” Ethan Ackerman, a USC student who witnessed the investigation, said.
The medical examiner is working to determine the baby’s cause of death.
Police have not publicly identified those involved in the calls.
The investigation is ongoing.
