The odds were against the baby boy from the beginning.

Just hours after being born, the boy was left on top of a trash can in an alley in the Hermosa neighborhood around 4:15 p.m. Tucked into a canvas shopping bag, his naked body was covered by a towel and the umbilical cord was still attached.

He was screaming enough that a mother and daughter found him and walked to a firehouse around the corner at 1747 N. Pulaski Road. “The fireman on watch was trying to figure out what they were talking about and they handed him a shopping bag," Langford said. "He looked inside and was shocked to find a baby."

By this time, the baby was not moving.
