In a harrowing incident that has gripped New York City, a 23-year-old mother, Nathaly Ramirez, tragically lost her life while shielding her 8-month-old daughter from a devastating 15-story fall from their Bronx apartment balcony, an act of ultimate maternal protection that investigators believe saved the infant’s life. Police are currently hunting for Angel Carrasco, 31, identified as a suspect in the suspected domestic violence incident that led to the fatal plunge. Neighbors recounted hearing Ramirez’s desperate plea, “Please don’t do this!” moments before the horrifying event. Responding officers found Ramirez and her critically injured daughter on the ground early Tuesday morning, with evidence strongly suggesting they were pushed. While Ramirez was pronounced dead at the hospital, her daughter remains in critical condition, her survival attributed to her mother’s embrace. Sources indicate a history of domestic violence between Ramirez and Carrasco, with prior police calls to the apartment. The NYPD is urging the public to come forward with any information regarding Carrasco’s whereabouts as the investigation continues.
