Police identify woman who died in 11-story fallPolice have released the name of a woman who plummetted to her death from an 11-story Sunny Isles Beach building.
Lawanda Owens, 27, was born in Syracuse, N.Y., and rented an apartment at the Ramada Marco Polo Beach Resort, 19201 Collins Ave.
Owens fell to her death at 10:30 a.m. Sunday after she returning from a night out.
It is thought she had locked herself out of her fourth-floor apartment and knocked on a neighbor's door for help before going to the roof.
''I heard she was trying to climb across the ledge of a neighboring apartment,'' Honey Scriff, a hotel employee, said.
Others in the resort said the woman would often go to the roof and sit on the ledge, which offers an open view of the ocean.
Somehow she fell, landing on the south side of the ocean-front building, next to the trash bins.
According to Miami-Dade homicide detectives, who are investigating the death for Sunny Isles Beach police, there was no evidence of foul play, and keys were not found with her body.
