Nathaly Ramirez, 23, was killed after being pushed from a 15th-floor balcony in the Bronx while holding her 8-month-old daughter. The baby survived. Investigators believe Ramirez stayed wrapped around her child during the fall, cushioning the impact and likely saving the infant's life.
A neighbor reported hearing an argument, Ramirez pleading and mentioning her baby, then a scream and the sound of impact.
Angel Carrasco, 31—the child's father and Ramirez's ex-boyfriend—was arrested after a manhunt. He faces charges including murder, attempted murder, manslaughter, and assault. Authorities say there were prior domestic incidents between the two.
