A tragic incident in the Allerton section of the Bronx has left a family devastated and raised urgent questions about what happened inside an apartment before a mother and her infant daughter fell from a 15th-floor balcony.
Nathaly Ramirez died after the fall, while her 8-month-old daughter survived and was hospitalized with serious injuries. Authorities later identified Ramirez’s boyfriend or former boyfriend, Angel Carrasco, as the suspect in the case. Investigators allege that he pushed the mother and baby from the balcony.
As the investigation continues, authorities are working to establish the events leading up to the incident and determine the circumstances surrounding the devastating fall.
What Happened in the Bronx?
According to information released by investigators and reported by FOX 5 NY, Ramirez and her infant daughter were found shortly after 3:30 a.m. Tuesday in a courtyard behind the Allerville Arms apartment building at 2550 Olinville Avenue in the Bronx.
At the time, police said the injuries were consistent with a fall from an elevated position. Investigators subsequently began searching for Ramirez’s boyfriend or former boyfriend, whom they suspected of pushing the two over the balcony.
The incident prompted a search for Carrasco. On Wednesday, the New York Police Department released his name and photograph to the public, describing him as armed and dangerous.
Authorities later arrested Carrasco, 31, in connection with the case.
The Baby Survived and Remains Hospitalized
One of the most significant developments in the case is that Ramirez’s 8-month-old daughter survived the fall.
According to the report, the infant had been hospitalized since Tuesday. Her survival has drawn attention to the case, although the available information does not provide a complete medical update or establish when she might be released from the hospital.
For now, her condition remains a central concern as investigators continue their work.
Investigators Examine the Couple’s History
Authorities are also seeking to understand what led to the incident.
Sources close to the investigation told FOX 5 NY that the couple reportedly had a history of domestic violence and that police had been called to their apartment on multiple occasions before the fall.
These details may help investigators establish the broader context of the case. However, the reported history and its relationship to the events of Tuesday remain matters requiring careful examination.
The circumstances that immediately preceded the fall have not been fully established in the information provided by authorities and news sources.
Charges Filed Against Angel Carrasco
Carrasco is being held at the 49th Precinct in the Bronx, according to the report. He faces charges including murder, attempted murder, manslaughter, attempted manslaughter, and assault.
The charges reflect the seriousness of the allegations involving Ramirez and her infant daughter. However, an arrest and criminal charges are not the same as a conviction. The allegations must be addressed through the legal process.
Investigators are continuing to piece together the events surrounding the incident, while the case moves forward.
Questions Remain as the Investigation Continues
Although authorities have made an arrest, important questions remain about the events leading up to the fall and the circumstances inside the apartment.
Investigators will need to establish the sequence of events, assess available evidence, and determine how the reported history of domestic violence relates to the case.
For Ramirez’s loved ones, the incident represents a devastating loss. Meanwhile, her infant daughter remains under medical care after surviving the fall.
The case continues to develop as authorities work to establish the facts and pursue the charges against Carrasco.
