MESA, AZ (3TV/CBS 5) — Police are investigating after a newborn baby was left on the doorstep of a random home in east Mesa on Friday. Around 11:30 a.m., police were called to a home near 56th Street and McKellips Road. An elderly woman said someone rang the doorbell, and she thought it was a package delivery.
