Police say the three adults immediately fled the store, leaving the infant behind.
Muhammad, who turned himself in to the police on Friday, faces charges of endangering the welfare of a child, retail theft, criminal conspiracy and recklessly endangering another person, according to WPVI .
Authorities are still investigating the other two adult suspects.
The child was unharmed but taken to a local hospital for observation, then released to her mother. The three people who fled Walmart never returned for the child.
