Man arrested in New York for death of partner and infant son

On October 9, 2026, 31-year-old Angel Carrasco was arrested in New York City following the death of his 23-year-old former partner, Natalie Ramirez, and their five-month-old son, Angel Novalti Carrasco-Ramirez. The incident occurred when the victims fell from the 15th floor of an apartment building. While one report states the infant died, another indicates the baby is fighting for his life in critical condition.

According to reports citing police sources, Carrasco arrived at the victim's residence with flowers attempting to reconcile following a previous dispute. Upon being rejected, he allegedly threw both victims from the building. During his arrest and subsequent court appearance on Thursday, the suspect displayed disturbing behavior, including laughing while being confronted by an angry crowd. Investigations revealed that Carrasco had been previously charged with two prior assaults against Ramirez.

The suspect is currently in custody, and authorities are continuing their investigation into the circumstances surrounding the tragedy. Legal proceedings are expected to follow as the community expresses shock over the event.
