NextImg:3-month-old baby found dead in woods near Bronx homeless shelter: police

A 3-month-old baby girl was found dead Sunday in a wooded area near the Bronx homeless shelter where she was living with family, according to police and law enforcement sources.

The infant’s body was found by authorities when they searched the area after the girl went missing from the shelter, sources said.

Her body was discovered nearby at West 161st Street and the Major Deegan Expressway Sunday evening, police said.

Police officers were originally called to the shelter earlier in the day after a family member contacted the city’s Administration for Children’s Services concerned about the baby, cops said.

The shelter is located on University Avenue and is classified as transitional housing.
