“Our thoughts are with his loved ones during this difficult time, as we respect their privacy,” Manu said in her letter. “Sohaib will forever be in our hearts and for those of us who had the gift and blessing to know him, we will hold dear the precious and cherished memories of the joy and happiness he brought to others.”

At this time, no foul play is suspected.”

Keisha Sylvester, a resident in the building, said she had just gone downstairs when she saw a young boy lying on the floor while a first responder performed CPR.

A 10th-floor resident, who did not provide her name, said she heard screams echoing through the hallway Thursday afternoon. When she opened her door, she saw a mother collapsed in tears by the windows near the elevator, repeatedly crying out, 鈥淢y son! My son!鈥�

The resident recognized the family 鈥� she often saw the young boy running in the hallway and darting into the elevator. Thinking he had done so again, she rushed back to her apartment and called the superintendent.

鈥淚 told them I thought he鈥檇 gone into the elevator again,鈥� she said. The superintendent replied, 鈥淲hich elevator?鈥� 鈥� a question she relayed back to the mother. But the mother only shook her head, and said, “No” while pointing to the window.

As the resident walked over and looked outside, she saw the boy lying on the grass below.

鈥淢y heart immediately sank,鈥� she said. 鈥淚t鈥檚 so sad.鈥澛�

Jashante Cooper, another 10th-floor resident, was returning home from work Thursday when she saw nine police vehicles and dozens of officers at the scene outside the building.

Cooper, who has a two-year-old daughter, said it made her think about her own child鈥檚 safety.

鈥淚t鈥檚 scary,鈥� she said. 鈥淚 can鈥檛 imagine what they鈥檙e going through.鈥�

There was no active police presence on scene Friday morning as people walked by the spot where the child fell.
