This incident occurred two days after an eight-month-old girl survived a fall from a 15-storey building in the Bronx, an incident that tragically claimed her mother's life. Nathaly Ramirez, 23, was allegedly pushed over the balcony in the early morning of Tuesday, October 6. The baby remains in hospital in critical condition, while Ramirez did not survive. Angel Carrasco, 31, was arrested on Wednesday evening on several charges, including murder. A neighbour told NBC News she heard Ramirez screaming moments before seeing something hit the ground.
