The suspect wanted for pushing his estranged girlfriend and her infant daughter off their 15th-floor Bronx balcony, killing the woman,<\/a> has been arrested \u2014 after his brother alerted cops the suspect was hiding out in the brother\u2019s home, police said Thursday.<\/p>\n

Angel Carrasco, 31, is accused of killing 23-year-old Nathaly Ramirez, who somehow held onto and shielded her 8-month-old daughter<\/a>\u00a0just enough that the infant survived the plunge.<\/p>\n

After cops released a wanted poster Wednesday calling Carrasco armed and dangerous<\/a> and asked the public\u2019s help locating him, his brother turned up at the 49th Precinct stationhouse, police sources said. The brother told cops Carrasco was hiding out in the brother\u2019s Bronx home and cops raced there and nabbed him.<\/p>\n

The shocking slaying, the climax to an acrimonious relationship, happened 3:38 a.m. Tuesday shortly after Carrasco and Ramirez were heard arguing loudly in her Allerton apartment on Olinville Ave. near Allerton Ave.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey were both on the terrace,\u201d said Nancy Morales, 69, who lives on the 16th floor. \u201cShe was holding the baby. She told him to leave her alone. She was telling him, \u2018Stop! You\u2019re scaring the baby!\u2019<\/p>\n

\u201cHe said, \u2018You want me to do it? You want me to do it?\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

Officers who raced to the scene after Ramirez and her daughter were thrown off the balcony rushed the baby to Jacobi Medical Center. The baby was in critical condition but her condition has since been upgraded to stable.<\/p>\n

Medics rushed her mom to the same hospital but she could not be saved.<\/p>\n

Ramirez went to Bronx Leadership Academy before studying psychology at Baruch College, according to her LinkedIn page. She also interned at Lishawn\u2019s Consulting, a Brooklyn-based business management consulting company.<\/p>\n

But she had an acrimonious relationship with Carrasco.<\/p>\n

He was twice arrested in January following confrontations with Ramirez, police said.<\/p>\n

On Jan. 5, he was charged with misdemeanor assault for allegedly slapping Ramirez, police said.<\/p>\n

A second arrest, three days later, has since been sealed but also resulted in his arrest. The charged he faced are not clear.<\/p>\n

Morales recalled overhearing Ramirez on the phone in January confiding in someone about her troubled relationship.<\/p>\n

\u201cShe wanted to get away from here \u2014 she wanted to get away from him,\u201d Morales said. \u201cShe said, \u2018I can\u2019t take it anymore.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The suspect wanted for pushing his estranged girlfriend and her infant daughter off their 15th-floor Bronx balcony, killing…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":367884,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[38],"tags":[128,262,263,266,85,267,9,24,264,10,12,63,261,265,129,131,130],"class_list":["post-367883","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-the-bronx","tag-bronx","tag-city","tag-county","tag-crime-and-public-safety","tag-latest-headlines","tag-local-news","tag-new-york","tag-new-york-city","tag-new-york-county","tag-new-york-news","tag-news","tag-nyc","tag-nyc-crime","tag-sub-county-region","tag-the-bronx","tag-the-bronx-headlines","tag-the-bronx-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/367883","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=367883"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/367883\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/367884"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=367883"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=367883"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=367883"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
