While the infant, named Angel Novalty Carrasco-Ramirez, initially beat staggering odds by surviving the catastrophic fall, her medical outlook has sharply deteriorated in the days following the tragedy.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"article-inline-figure\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/10\/newspress-collage-ytj7adcab-1791743412980.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;1791729066&amp;w=1200\" alt=\"Baby thrown from NYC balcony clings to life as vigil held for Bronx mom killed after plummeting 15 stories with infant\" class=\"article-inline-img\" loading=\"lazy\" \/><\/figure>\n<p>\u201cThey are keeping their fingers crossed,\u201d a hospital insider familiar with the situation told reporters regarding the infant\u2019s grave medical status. \u201cShe is not doing well.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Following the initial plunge, baby Angel Novalty was rushed by emergency responders to Jacobi Hospital, where medical personnel worked frantically to stabilize her injuries.

However, a coordinated manhunt involving United States Marshals and officers from the New York City Police Department tracked him down, leading to his apprehension on Wednesday. Following his arrest, Carrasco was transported to Jacobi Hospital for a medical evaluation. He is now facing serious criminal charges, including murder and attempted murder, with his formal court arraignment still pending.<\/p>\n<p>The devastating event has sparked immense grief, outrage, and renewed calls for systemic reform regarding domestic violence protection and intervention in New York City. On Saturday, a poignant prayer and remembrance ceremony was held outside the apartment building located at 2550 Olinville Avenue in the Bronx, where the mother and child were allegedly shoved to the pavement.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"article-inline-figure\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/10\/2026-bronx-n-y-ramirez-144536580.jpg?w=1024\" alt=\"Baby thrown from NYC balcony clings to life as vigil held for Bronx mom killed after plummeting 15 stories with infant\" class=\"article-inline-img\" loading=\"lazy\" \/><\/figure>\n<p>Approximately 200 mourners gathered for the emotional vigil, which was sponsored by We All Really Matter (WARM), an advocacy organization dedicated to supporting domestic violence victims and assisting families with funeral expenses.
