Man arrested in New York for death of former partner and injury of infant

A 31-year-old man, Angel Carrasco, was arrested in New York City on charges of murdering his 23-year-old former partner, Nathaly Ramirez, and severely injuring their infant child. The incident occurred when the suspect allegedly pushed the victim from the 15th floor of their apartment building following a dispute. Sources indicate the suspect had visited the residence with flowers in an attempt to reconcile, but after being rejected, he pushed the woman from the balcony. While Ramirez died instantly, their child—identified in some reports as five months old and in others as eight months old—remains hospitalized in critical condition.

Following his arrest, Carrasco was taken before a prosecutor on Thursday, where he appeared to be laughing while being escorted past an angry crowd. Investigations into the case have revealed that Carrasco had been accused of domestic violence against Ramirez on two previous occasions. Law enforcement authorities are continuing their investigation into the circumstances surrounding the tragedy. The suspect remains in custody as legal proceedings against him move forward.
