A resident on the 300 block of South Backer Avenue heard her dog barking outside, when she went to go look she found a dead baby lying there.

“This is not something we like to see and so we definitely want to bring justice to the baby, whatever that may be,” said Fresno Police Sgt. Felipe Uribe.

Uribe said the infant does not belong to anyone inside the household. The identity and whereabouts of the parents are unknown.

“We don’t know the cause of the baby’s death, we can’t classify this as a murder yet,” said Sgt. Uribe.
