MIAMI BEACH, Fla. — Officials have released new video footage stemming from a man being thrown from a 25th floor balcony in Miami Beach.

In the newly released surveillance video, a condominium staffer can be seen rushing over to check on Justin Zelin moments after he fell from a balcony above.

It all happened on Feb. 15 at the Akoya Condominium located at 6365 Collins Ave. on Mid-Beach.

Three days prior, video footage captured a man who appeared to be Zelin entering the building with 37-year-old Corey Hutterli, who was carrying what appeared to be several bottles of alcohol.

Hutterli would quickly become the main suspect on the night of Zelin’s death.

Prior to Zelin falling from his balcony, he called police after getting into an altercation with Hutterli.

Investigators said the victim could be heard on the call saying “get away from me Sasha,” which is an alias they said Hutterli was referred by.

Hutterli has since been accused by authorities of pushing Zelin from the condo’s balcony.

On the ground, body worn cameras were rolling as officers located Zelin’s body.

Upstairs, officers inside Zelin’s condo said they found a disheveled Hutterli exiting the victim’s apartment wearing only socks, with cuts on his body consistent with having been involved in a fight.

Investigators said they collected evidence from Hutterli’s shirt and backpack, which contained ketamine and patches of his own beard.

Hurrerli remains behind bars at the Metrowest Detention Center on no bond, facing charges of second degree murder, burglary with assault or battery, possession of a controlled substance and possession of drug paraphernalia with intent to use.
