Police are investigating after a 13-year-old boy murdered his mother in their Hialeah apartment in front of a newborn baby, officials said.
Hialeah Police officials said the incident happened around 11:30 p.m. Thursday at 211 West 79th Place.
Officers responded to the address after receiving a call from the teen telling them he’d just murdered his mother, police said.
When officers arrived, they found the 39-year-old woman dead in her bedroom next to a crib with a 14-day-old baby that was unharmed.
A neighbor recorded the moments when Hialeah Police officers ordered the teen to come out of the apartment with his hands up. Cellphone video shows the teen walk out with his hands up, an officer taking him to the ground and other officers entering the home.

The teen later told detectives he stabbed his mother while she slept, according to an arrest report. He took photos of his mother’s body and sent them to a friend on social media, and told the same friend over the phone that he killed her, the report said.
