Police are searching for two people in connection with the death of a woman who plunged to her death from a fifth-floor window in the Bronx last week.
Authorities say the two men were seen fleeing the scene near the Grand Concourse building where 43-year-old Maria Carolina Sanchez-Triburico was found unconscious Friday. She died at the scene.
Officers were responding to a robbery call on the same floor of the same building when they discovered her outside. It wasn't immediately clear if the two men seen fleeing the scene were believed to have been involved in the robbery, but police had said previously they were looking into whether the robbery and the death of Sanchez-Triburico were connected.
A man who answered the door at an address for Sanchez-Triburico said Thursday the victim rented a room there with her boyfriend, who is a cab driver. The man said she has lived in the room for about three months and works as a housekeeper at the Grand Concourse building three times a week.
He said Sanchez-Triburico has two children -- one in college in Chicago and the other in the Dominican Republic.
Police on Wednesday released video of the two suspects. They're asking anyone with information to contact Crime Stoppers at 1-800-577-TIPS.
