A woman died after she was allegedly thrown from a third-story balcony during a fight with her boyfriend in San Ysidro on Monday.
Officers received calls from witnesses who said they had seen a man throw a woman over the railing of a balcony corridor in an apartment building on San Ysidro Boulevard near Averil Road around 7:20 p.m., San Diego police Lt. Lou Maggi said.
When officers arrived, they found 61-year-old Irene Williams lying in a courtyard with severe head trauma and a broken femur, Maggi said. She was taken to a hospital where she died.
Investigators used the description of the man provided by witnesses to find and arrest the woman’s boyfriend, 57-year-old Albert Turner, at the scene within minutes of officers arriving, Maggi said.
Investigators said they believe the two had been involved in an altercation inside an apartment earlier in the evening. At some point, Williams began throwing Turner’s belongings off the balcony.
He then allegedly threw Williams over the edge onto the concrete below, Maggi said.
Police booked Turner into San Diego jail on suspicion of murder.
The incident is under investigation.
