The little girl, Ivory Roach, was in good condition at Barnes-Jewish Hospital, said St. Louis County police spokesman Rick Eckhard. No arrests had been made Tuesday morning.
The carjacking happened late Monday in north St. Louis County, where police investigating reports of gunshots found Tionna Roach, 31, dead in a parking lot. Roach's SUV, with his daughter inside, was missing.
Several hours later, two employees at Barnes-Jewish Hospital, aware that police were searching for Roach's SUV, spotted it in a hospital parking lot, said hospital spokeswoman Kathy Holleman.
"They both saw the baby in the car," Holleman said.
The workers found a door unlocked and removed the child.
