New York authorities confirmed the arrest of Angel Carrasco, a 31-year-old Dominican citizen, who is identified as the primary person responsible for the death of his ex-partner, 23-year-old Nathaly Ramírez. The tragic event occurred in a residential complex located in the Allerton section of The Bronx.
The incident took place early Tuesday morning, October 6, in an apartment located on the 15th floor of the building marked number 2550 on Olinville Avenue. According to preliminary reports, the young mother lost her life after falling from the balcony of the home. Also present at the scene was their daughter, an eight-month-old baby, who fortunately survived the event.

After the incident, Carrasco remained a fugitive from justice for nearly 24 hours, until New York Police Department (NYPD) officers managed to locate him and proceed with his arrest on the night of Wednesday, October 7.
Currently, the defendant is facing a series of serious charges before the judicial system, among which the following stand out:
