Police say Kristhie Alcazar, 26, of Penns Grove, has been arrested and charged with murder pursuant after police responded to an open 911 call with audible disturbance in the background.
Investigators say once they arrived at Alcazar’s residence on Helms Cove Lane, they found Alcazar arguing with another person and the body of the deceased infant with visible stab wounds to the chest.
Multiple knives were also recovered from the scene, officials say.
The infant’s cause of death has been determined to be a homicide as a result of multiple stab wounds to the chest area.
No one else has been reported injured in this incident.
Officials say the father of the infant was not at the residence at the time.
Anyone with additional information is asked to contact Detective Johnathan Seidel at the Salem County Prosecutor’s Office (856) 935-7510 or Detective Jesse Thorn at the Penns Grove Police Department (856) 299-0056.
