NEW YORK – The NYPD has arrested the man suspected of pushing a mother and baby off a balcony<\/a> in the Bronx.<\/p>\n

What we know<\/p>\n

Angel Carrasco, 31, was taken into custody just before 10:30 p.m. Wednesday following an intense manhunt. He’s facing multiple charges, including assault and murder for the death of Nathaly Ramirez, the NYPD said.<\/p>\n

Carrasco and Ramirez’s 8-month-old daughter has been hospitalized since Tuesday after she survived the 15-story fall from their apartment in the Allerton section.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

What we don’t know<\/p>\n

Investigators are still trying to piece together what led to the tragic confrontation, but sources told FOX 5 NY the couple had a history of domestic violence and that police were called to the apartment multiple times before.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The backstory<\/p>\n

The NYPD released Carrasco’s picture and name to the public on Wednesday, saying he was armed and dangerous after allegedly shoving Ramirez and his daughter off a 15th-floor balcony the day before.<\/p>\n

Ramirez’s body and her 8-month-old were discovered just after 3:30 a.m. Tuesday<\/a> in a courtyard behind the Allerville Arms at 2550 Olinville Avenue, according to investigators.<\/p>\n

At the time, police said their injuries were “consistent with a fall from an elevated position.”<\/p>\n

Investigators later said they were looking for Ramirez’s boyfriend, or ex-boyfriend, who they believe pushed the two over the ledge.<\/p>\n

What’s next<\/p>\n

Carrasco is being held at the 49 Precinct in the Bronx. He is charged with murder, attempted murder, manslaughter, attempted manslaughter and assault.<\/p>\n
