A newborn boy was rescued after being left in a dumpster behind an apartment complex on Dashwood Drive in southwest Houston, police say.

Gabriel's hair appeared wet, his umbilical cord still fresh, and his skin pink and pruned.

Police said Cux-Ajtzalam had given birth inside a taco truck. Soon after, she allegedly disposed of the baby and returned to clean the truck.

It was a 911 caller who told authorities they heard what sounded like a baby crying inside a dumpster.

Baby Gabriel is said to be in good health, and Child Protective Services has taken custody of him.
