In 2013, 18-year-old Tiona Rodriguez was stopped outside a shop in New York after security suspected she may have stolen a pair of skinny jeans.
When guards searched through her bag, they were shocked to discover the body of a baby boy.
The teen has now been charged with murder two years after the incident.
Prosecutor Rachel Ferrari told a court that Rodriguez "carried out the murder of her newborn infant and then callously shoved him in a bag with the plan of — in her words to ‘take this s**t and dig a hole, put it somewhere, lol, then we go eat IHOP".
Rodriguez fell pregnant in 2013 but had allegedly ‘plotted’ to kill the baby boy weeks before he was born.
According to The Mirror, the young mum was worried about her family finding out about the pregnancy.
She gave birth to the 8lb baby in a bathroom at a friends home in Queens.
On her way to dispose of the body, she stopped by a branch of Victoria’s Secret to allegedly steal items of clothing.
Ferrari continued: “She may have killed the baby, the baby may have been stillborn - but we know that she texted her boyfriend throughout the birth, ultimately telling him - it's dead.
"Then the two of them discussed via text getting rid of it. Smashing it up, so it didn't look like a body. Burning it. Meeting up to bury it."
Rodriguez has since fallen pregnant twice, but both pregnancies ended in miscarriage.
Her lawyer said that the teen is a "confused young girl who had no idea what to do with a foetus that was stillborn.”
If found guilty of murder, Rodriguez faces 15 years to life in prison.
