Mom Dies, Baby Critical After Balcony Fall
7 Oct
Summary
- Mother died after falling from a 15th-floor balcony.
- Her 8-month-old daughter is in critical condition.
- Police are searching for a man in connection with the incident.
Tragedy struck early Tuesday morning in the Bronx when Nathaly Ramirez, 23, and her 8-month-old daughter were found outside their apartment building. The pair had fallen from a 15th-floor balcony at 2550 Olinville Ave. Ramirez was pronounced dead at the hospital, while her infant daughter is in critical condition.
Investigators believe Ramirez may have been holding her daughter tightly during the fall, possibly cushioning the baby's impact. Neighbors recounted hearing Ramirez scream, "Please don't do this!" shortly before the incident. Police have identified Angel Carrasco, 31, as a person of interest and are seeking his whereabouts. Reports suggest a history of domestic violence at the apartment.
The investigation is ongoing, with no arrests made as of Wednesday. Authorities are urging anyone with information about Carrasco's location to contact Crime Stoppers.
