Velez, 39, was homeless and staying at the hotel on West 45th Street near Seventh Avenue, where rooms fetch an average $279 a night, the sources said.

Velez fell from a 15th story window of the 45 Times Square Hotel, according to cops. G.N.Miller/NYPostAuthorities were seen taking a red-haired woman in for questioning outside of the 16-floor hotel shortly after the incident. No arrests were made.
Guests told The Post they heard strange noises coming from Velez’s room.
“This morning I woke up to some noise, somebody was shouting,” said an Italian tourist who gave his name as Davide. “I heard some lady . . . shouting that someone needs to come back, because I heard the noise, ‘Come back! Come back! Come back!’”
Guests were jolted awake.
