http://i44.tinypic.com/20fc5fo.jpgA woman who fell to her to death from the 18th floor of a high-rise on Jan. 20 didn’t jump - she was pushed.
At the time, the authorities thought Carol Maxwell, 48, may have committed suicide. That’s now been ruled out, according to the police and the city medical examiner’s office. The death officially became a homicide last week.
Police believe a local man, Shevar Hall (aka “Buck”), pushed or forced Maxwell out of a window in the apartment she shared with her two young daughters. She fell 200-feet and was pronounced dead at the scene a little after 2 a.m.
Hall, 37, is said to have known Maxwell, but they weren’t romantically involved. Police haven’t established a motive. It’s not known if anyone else was in the apartment at the time.
Maxwell’s two girls have gone to stay with their father who lives elsewhere in the Bronx.
Hall, who has prior convictions for assault and robbery, has yet to be caught.http://www.mounthopemonitor.org/?p=269
