NYPD Hunts Angel Carrasco, 31, After 15-Story Bronx Fall Kills Mother and Critically Injures Baby

Q: How did an 8-month-old miraculously survive a 15th-floor plunge, and where is the armed suspect who allegedly pushed her?

The baby appears to have survived because her mother was holding her during the fall and likely absorbed much of the impact. Multiple reports citing police sources say investigators believe Nathaly Ramirez’s body cushioned her 8-month-old daughter when they plunged from the 15th-floor balcony. The child was initially listed in critical condition, but later updates said she had improved to stable and is expected to survive. As for the suspect, Angel Carrasco, 31, remained at large in the latest public reporting. The NYPD identified him as the man wanted in connection with Ramirez’s death and the child’s injuries, released his photo, and warned that he should be considered armed and dangerous. Authorities have described him as Ramirez’s boyfriend or ex-boyfriend and the child’s father. Police say surveillance video shows a man believed to be Carrasco leaving the building shortly after the incident. Investigators have tied the case to an apparent domestic violence dispute, and sources said officers had responded to the apartment earlier this year over previous incidents. There had been no announced arrest in the latest available reports. Anyone with information on Carrasco’s whereabouts is being urged to contact NYPD Crime Stoppers at 1-800-577-TIPS or submit a tip online or through @NYPDTips.

Angel Carrasco, 31, was identified Wednesday as wanted after Nathaly Ramirez, 23, died and her 8-month-old daughter was critically injured in a fall from a 15th-floor Bronx balcony.
NYPD said officers responding to a 3:38 a.m. 911 call at 2550 Olinville Ave. found both victims outside the building, and investigators later determined they had been pushed.
The infant was rushed to a hospital in critical condition, while Ramirez was pronounced dead; investigators believe Ramirez held the baby during the fall, likely cushioning the impact.
Neighbors reported hearing Ramirez scream, "Please don't do this," and local outlets said police were examining the case as suspected domestic violence involving a boyfriend or recent ex-boyfriend.
Police have not announced charges or detailed Carrasco's relationship to Ramirez, but sources cited a history of domestic-violence calls to the apartment as the manhunt continued.
