Trial postponed for Tampa student accused of killing her newborn, putting her in trash

The mother of a baby found dead in a trash can on the University of Tampa campus will be going to trial in March.

Brianna Moore was originally set to stand trial in late July. However, a judge granted her attorney’s request for more time to try the case during a hearing last week, according to the Hillsborough County State Attorney’s Office.

Moore is facing several charges related to her newborn baby’s death in April 2024. Moore was 19 years old at the time.

According to investigators, Moore’s roommates reported finding a newborn baby girl no longer breathing and wrapped in a towel in the 19-year-old student’s trash can.

Authorities said Moore denied being pregnant at first but later told them she had given birth in her dorm room and held her baby tight to stop the crying.

An autopsy revealed the baby had multiple fractured ribs along her spine and hemorrhaging in her lungs, according to the Hillsborough County State Attorney’s Office.

The Medical Examiner ruled the baby girl’s cause of death to be homicide.

Moore was charged with aggravated manslaughter, as well as failure to report a death, improper disposal of human remains and child neglect.

Officials said she will stay behind bars until trial.

The State Attorney’s Office also noted that Florida has recently expanded its Safe Haven laws to allow parents to anonymously surrender newborns up to 30 days without any questions.

Parents can leave a newborn with medical staff at any hospital or fire station.

TAMPA, FL (October 18, 2024) — A former University of Tampa student faces charges of aggravated manslaughter of a child and child neglect with great bodily harm after authorities found her newborn baby in a trash can in April. Brianna Moore, 19, was arrested in her home state of Mississippi and will be extradited back to Hillsborough County to face charges. State Attorney Suzy Lopez will hold a press availability today at 1:15pm in the 3rd Floor Auditorium at the State Attorney’s Office located at 419 N. Pierce St. in Tampa.

Brianna Moore’s roommates reported hearing sounds of a baby crying and finding blood in their shared bathroom at McKay Hall on April 27. They called University of Tampa Campus Safety, who dispatched an ambulance to check on Moore. The suspect denied being pregnant and told an officer the blood in the bathroom was from her period.

The following day, Moore’s roommates found a bloody towel inside of the suspect’s trashcan and called police once again. Authorities discovered the dead newborn completely concealed inside of a towel. When Tampa Police interviewed Moore that day, she admitted to delivering the baby in the bathroom and holding the baby tightly to her body until she stopped crying. She told investigators she placed the baby in a towel and put her in the trashcan.

An autopsy revealed the infant had multiple fractured ribs along her spine and hemorrhaging in her lungs. The Medical Examiner determined the cause of death was asphyxia due to compression of the torso with the manner of death being homicide.

“It breaks my heart to know that this baby girl could still be alive today if this woman had alerted authorities that she needed help. Instead, she took actions that directly lead to the death of her newborn baby. This is a difficult and nuanced case to prosecute, and our community must continue to educate women about the many resources available to them in situations like this one. This baby’s death was avoidable,” said State Attorney Suzy Lopez.

Florida lawmakers recently expanded the state’s Safe Haven laws in July to allow parents to anonymously surrender unwanted newborns up to 30 days after birth without any questions. A parent who has just given birth can surrender a child to medical staff at a hospital or any fire station.

Moore faces a total of four charges including aggravated manslaughter of a child, child neglect with great bodily harm, unlawful storage, preservation or transportation of human remains, and failure to report death to medical examiner or law enforcement.
