Police investigating fetus discovered on bus in Baltimore

A fetus was discovered Saturday afternoon on a bus in Baltimore, Maryland, according to officials.

Baltimore Police and Maryland Transit Administration (MTA) police announced that a fetus had been found on an MTA Green Route bus.

Police responded around 12:40 p.m. to the 2500 block of Kirk Avenue after an MTA bus driver reported finding a fetus on a seat inside the bus.

FLORIDA BABY FOUND DEAD IN DUMPSTER WAS CHILD OF WOMAN ILLEGALLY IN US

The bus was headed south when the unusual discovery was made. The bus travels between Towson and Downtown Baltimore.

“Even though I wasn’t on the bus, just to know something happened like that on the bus, that’s what we’re going through these days,” resident Jeff McKoy told WBAL, noting that he frequents the area.

The incident remains under investigation.

This comes after other incidents in recent months of babies being discovered in abnormal locations.

‘LATE-TERM FETUS’ DISCOVERED IN VIRGINIA POND, POLICE IMMEDIATELY LAUNCH DEATH INVESTIGATION

Last month, a dead baby was found in a dumpster in Florida. Brusela D’Enstachio-Lugo, 34, admitted to giving birth to the child outside of her home on May 10. She said she did not know she was pregnant and that she did not go to the hospital because she was in the country illegally and did not have money to pay for medical expenses. She also admitted to putting the infant’s remains in the dumpster.

D’Enstachio-Lugo was charged with a misdemeanor related to the storage of human remains. Her DNA was collected and the Department of Homeland Security was contacted.

In March, police in Leesburg, Virginia, said a community member found a “late-term fetus” in a pond.

Laken Riley murder suspect Jose Ibarra pleads not guilty

The illegal immigrant accused of killing Augusta University student Laken Riley entered a not guilty plea Friday during an arraignment hearing. 

Jose Ibarra, 26, is facing 10 counts following the death of Riley, a 22-year-old nursing student who he allegedly attacked on Feb. 22 while she was out for a run along dirt trails on the University of Georgia campus in Athens.  

When he arrived at Athens-Clarke County Superior Courthouse on Friday, Riley’s mother, Allyson Phillips, began sobbing, according to a Fox News reporter at the scene.  A judge says the case will now have a status hearing in August, with a trial expected by this fall.

A grand jury has indicted Ibarra on counts of malice murder, two counts of kidnapping with bodily injury, two counts of aggravated assault with intent to rape, two counts of aggravated battery, obstructing or hindering a person from making a 911 call, tampering with evidence and being a “peeping Tom.” 

SUSPECT IN LAKEN RILEY’S MURDER IS INDICTED

Ibarra is accused of causing Riley’s death by inflicting blunt-force trauma to her head and “asphyxiating her in a manner unknown to jurors,” an indictment states. 

The suspect is also accused of going to an apartment on UGA’s “University Village Housing Building ‘S,’” where he “peeped through” a window and “spied upon” a university staff member on the same day he allegedly killed Riley, the indictment alleges. 

LAKEN RILEY’S FATHER SAYS SUSPECT ‘MIGHT NOT HAVE BEEN HERE’ IF BORDER WAS SECURE

Ibarra lived in an apartment building that sits on the edge of the on-campus park where Riley was running, allegedly murdered the aspiring nurse in what UGA Police Chief Jeffrey Clark described as a “crime of opportunity.” 

The scenic loop Riley ran that morning is easily accessible from behind Ibarra’s apartment complex. It is a five-minute walk from Ibarra’s door to the approximate scene where Riley was found dead. 

Ibarra, who is from Venezuela, illegally crossed into the United States through El Paso, Texas, in September 2022 and was released into the U.S. via parole, ICE and DHS sources previously told Fox News.
