A Miami biotech executive was followed into the skyscraper where he lived by a man who is accused of pushing him off the building’s 25th floor, newly released surveillance video shows.

Justin Zelin, 35, was seen walking into Miami Beach’s 47-story Akoya Condominium with a bearded man, Corey Hutterli, 37, following on Feb. 12 — three days before his death, NBC6 reported.

Zelin, who had worked as a biotechnology equity research analyst at BTIG since January 2021, reportedly shouted, “Get away from me, Sasha,” using a nickname by which Hutterli was known.

There was a bust-up and cops said, “During said physical altercation defendant Hutterli caused victim Zelin to perish due to blunt force trauma.”

Zelin’s body hit a path on the ground floor, according to surveillance video recorded eight minutes after the 911 call.

Hutterli’s defense team claimed Zelin “went over the balcony” after an alleged mental episode.

Cops then searched the apartment – which had items strewn inside – and they found Hutterli’s bucket hat.

There were blood spatters on the rails, and clumps of Hutterli’s beard hair were also found.

Blood was also found on Hutterli’s shirt – and they found ketamine in his bag.

Hutterli was arrested on April 8 and faces a second-degree murder charge, which carries a maximum sentence of life imprisonment.

But that relationship works so well on the tv and movie screen!

It’s interesting that so many of the “tech bros” are homosexuals.

And many are on the autism spectrum. Maybe it's intersectional.

Sorry, don’t understand your point. Why would they reject the gold diggers?

For the same reason any self respecting man rejects a gold digger.
