Authorities in Rockingham, North Carolina arrested him, along with Samantha Feliz, on Wednesday after a judge signed an arrest warrant earlier this month. <\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph\">Leon, 21, and Feliz, 20, are suspected of allowing their baby daughter, Angelina, to die through neglect not long after she was born, and then claiming the little girl was a \u201choax\u201d who never existed.<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph\">Police said they still have not found Angelina\u2019s body, but compiled circumstantial evidence, including a photo of the baby \u201cshowing no signs of life\u201c and blood found on baby clothing and towels in a Hollywood storage unit, that led them to conclude that she is dead.<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph\">During Monday\u2019s court appearance, a Broward judge reset Leon\u2019s hearing to Tuesday after his attorney asked for time to review evidence.<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph\">Meanwhile, records show that Feliz remains behind bars in North Carolina, awaiting extradition to South Florida.<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph\">Records from the Richmond County Sheriff\u2019s Office in the Tar Heel State show that she has a court appearance there scheduled for Thursday.<\/p>\n<p>\ud83c\udfe0 News From Your Neighborhood<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph b-article-body__copyright\">Copyright 2026 by WPLG Local10.com &#8211; All rights reserved.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" data-chromatic=\"ignore\" alt=\"Chris Gothner\" class=\"c-image\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/https:\/\/author-service-images-sandbox-us-east-1.publishing.aws.arc.pub\/wplginc\/3be3b5ed-fb4b-43ce-8b.jpeg\"  width=\"100\" height=\"100\"\/>Chris Gothner <\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph b-author-bio__author-description\">Chris Gothner joined the Local 10 News team in 2022 as a Digital Journalist.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Published:\u00a0July 27, 2026 at 10:50 AM Updated:\u00a0July 27, 2026 at 10:56 AM lead-art-block.fullscreen-enterExpandAlejandro Leon (BSO) HOLLYWOOD, Fla. \u2014&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":353725,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[17],"tags":[249,251,250],"class_list":["post-353724","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-fort-lauderdale","tag-fort-lauderdale","tag-fort-lauderdale-headlines","tag-fort-lauderdale-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/353724","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=353724"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/353724\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/353725"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=353724"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=353724"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=353724"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
