She sustained critical injuries and was taken to a hospital where she is conscious and breathing. Investigators believe the woman and a man, identified as Kylee Jamal Palmer, 22, had been in a domestic dispute inside an eighth-floor apartment unit before the fall.
The woman told investigators that she jumped from the building to escape an assault, Fox affiliate WTTG-TV reported.
During the investigation, authorities issued an alert for 1-year-old Kylee Palmer, who was missing and later found with a relative. The child is believed to be related to the woman and the older Palmer, authorities said.
