Surveillance footage shows a Hispanic woman, who police believe to be the mother, going into the restroom and leaving in a white Cadillac about 15 minutes later. On Monday, Calab Bowling, a homicide detective with the Houston Police Department, told Eyewitness News the woman gave birth inside the restroom.Paramedics responded to the scene and attempted to provide medical assistance but determined the baby had been dead for hours before being discovered, HPD said.
"No one else went inside that bathroom, and was not there when she walked in before," Bowling said. "It's tragic that it's played out the way it has."When asked if the mother possibly had a stillbirth, Bowling said investigators are looking for more information from the woman seen on the video.WATCH THE SURVEILLANCE VIDEO:
