In the 3500 blocks of North Pulaski Road in the South Old Irving Park neighbourhood, she put him on a garbage can. This area is located on the city’s Northwest Side.

Authorities said that the 17 years old boy who was the father of that newborn went to the alley. He put the baby covered in a towel into the bad and called his grandmother Antimo.

Antimo then took the newborn from there and took it to Chicago firehouse which is located in the 1700 block of North Pulaski Road in the city’s Hermosa neighbourhood.
