A Parkland man is facing a second-degree murder charge after Miami Beach police say a man was thrown from the balcony of a 25th-floor oceanfront condo and landed on the pavement outside the Akoya building in Mid-Beach. Investigators are treating the case as a homicide and say a frantic 911 call from inside the unit, along with building surveillance video, helped drive the case forward.
Police identified the suspect as 37-year-old Corey Hutterli of Parkland. He was arrested on the murder count along with charges of burglary with assault or battery and possession-related offenses. According to Local10, Hutterli was already out on a felony bond when the Feb. 15 incident unfolded and is now being held at the Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center, with bond listed as "to be set." The incident took place at the Akoya Condominium at 6365 Collins Ave in Mid-Beach.
Dispatch audio and the arrest report indicate the victim dialed 911 at about 10:22 p.m., repeatedly pleading, "get away from me Sasha," before the call suddenly went quiet and what sounded like a struggle could be heard. Surveillance footage reviewed by detectives reportedly captured the victim hitting the ground at around 10:30 p.m., and officers say they reached the building at 10:31 p.m., a tight timeline that is spelled out in the arrest paperwork. The report quotes Hutterli telling officers, "What's going on? somebody, he freaked out, attacked me," and later, "He went to the elevator man, what the f---, I'm all beat up," according to Local10.
Evidence Inside The High-Rise Unit
Investigators say a search warrant turned up clear signs of a struggle inside the condo leading out toward the balcony. The balcony doors were open, and a pair of sandals sat on the railing. Officers documented blood on that same railing in a spot consistent with where the body was found below, as well as pieces of beard hair scattered across the living room and the victim's cellphone on the bathroom floor. Detectives also reported finding a bag of ketamine in a jacket pocket inside Hutterli's backpack, along with a cut to his right thumb and scratches on his arm.
Oceanfront Tower At The Center Of The Case
The Akoya is an oceanfront condominium at 6365 Collins Ave, a high-rise with dozens of residential units and full-service amenities that stands out along Mid-Beach. City documentation lists multiple unit owners at the address and backs up the building's size and residential mix.

Charges, Custody And What Comes Next
Hutterli faces a second-degree murder charge along with several related counts, and prosecutors are expected to review the arrest packet before formal filings and court dates are set. He is currently housed in Miami-Dade's jail system at the Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center, the county's primary booking facility.

Miami Beach police have not released the victim's name, citing the ongoing investigation. Detectives have asked anyone with information about the case to contact Miami Beach Police. The department did not immediately respond to additional requests for comment.
