Candles, fresh flowers and purple balloons surround Nathaly Ramirez’s photograph at a memorial in Allerton, where her death is bringing renewed attention to domestic violence and the resources available to survivors.

Ramirez, 23, offered encouragement to other survivors. Brianna, a domestic violence survivor, recalled receiving a message from Ramirez after suffering injuries.

“I had two black eyes and my nose was broken. And she reached out saying that everything was gonna be OK and I was gonna heal,” Brianna said.

Ramirez’s ex-boyfriend, Angel Carrasco, is charged with murder after police say he pushed her from a 15th-floor balcony while she was holding their 8-month-old daughter. Ramirez died. Her daughter survived.

For Ramirez’s coworker, Lishawn Alexander, remembering her means finding ways to help others.

“How can we really not let her life be just a statistic?” Alexander said.

Margarita Guzman, with VIP Mujeres, described Ramirez’s death as “another life lost when that did not have to happen.” The organization offers survivors in-person support through workshops and programs, as well as long-term assistance.

For those unsure where to begin, Guzman recommends starting with the city’s helpline.
