An autopsy has been conducted on the newborn boy.
"It was determined that his cause of death was homicide, he was murdered, born alive," Calabrese told Haskell.
The investigation has led authorities to Spring Valley in Rockland County because of items found in the bag with the baby.
"Lottery tickets that were sold in a local deli," Calabrese said.
Police would not say how the newborn was killed.
