SEO Title: Bronx Mother Dies in 15-Story Balcony Fall With Baby

Meta Description: Nathaly Ramirez, 23, died after allegedly being pushed from a Bronx balcony while holding her infant daughter. Her ex-boyfriend was arrested and charged.

“Please don’t do this. My baby. You know my baby is scared.”

Those were the desperate words a neighbor said she heard shortly before 23-year-old Nathaly Ramirez fell from a 15th-floor balcony in the Bronx while holding her 8-month-old daughter.

Ramirez died after the fall. Her baby survived but suffered critical injuries, leaving loved ones facing an agonizing wait as the infant received hospital treatment.

The incident happened in the early hours of October 6, 2026, at an apartment building on Olinville Avenue in the Allerton section of the Bronx, according to police and local news reports.

What initially prompted an urgent police search has since become a criminal case. Authorities identified Ramirez’s former boyfriend, 31-year-old Angel Carrasco, as the suspect. He was arrested on October 8 and charged in connection with the incident.

A Desperate Plea Before the Fall

A neighbor told NBC News that she heard Ramirez pleading moments before the fall.

The witness recalled hearing the young mother refer to her frightened baby and beg the person she was addressing to stop.

The neighbor said she then heard a scream and saw something strike the ground.

Police responding to a call shortly before 3:40 a.m. found Ramirez and her daughter with injuries consistent with a fall from a height. Both were taken to Jacobi Hospital, where Ramirez was pronounced dead.

Investigators later determined that the mother and child had allegedly been pushed from the balcony.

Authorities believe Ramirez was holding her daughter when they fell. The infant survived, and reports described her condition as critical but stable during the initial days of the investigation.

Police Launch Search for Suspect

Investigators identified Carrasco, Ramirez’s former boyfriend and the child’s father, as the man wanted in connection with the incident.

The NYPD released his photograph and asked the public for help locating him. Authorities warned that he should be considered dangerous while the search was underway.

The U.S. Marshals Service and the NYPD subsequently tracked him down and arrested him on October 8.

Carrasco faces multiple charges, including murder and attempted murder, along with other alleged offenses connected to the incident. He has pleaded not guilty to the charges and remains in custody without bail.

The charges are allegations, and the case must proceed through the courts.

A Family and Community Left Grieving

The tragedy shook Ramirez’s community, where neighbors and loved ones gathered to remember the young mother.

People who knew her described her as energetic, hardworking and caring. A former employer praised her dedication to her career, while a former classmate recalled how she tried to cheer people up when they were having a difficult day.

For Ramirez’s family, the loss is compounded by concern for the
