“This kind of incident is very tragic," Irving police Officer Robert Reeves, said. "It strikes everybody in their family. Everybody’s heart goes out when you hear an infant is deceased. We definitely do not like to see this happen. There’s fire stations, there’s ambulances that you can call, there’s the hospital that’s just two more exits down the freeway."
Investigators are also looking at surveillance video and speaking to witnesses to try to locate the suspect, FOX 4 reported.
It's unclear if the baby was alive when it was born.
