A woman will remain in custody charged with murder after a young Sydney woman plunged to her death from an inner-city unit block.

Shuyu Zhou, 23, was discovered with critical injuries on a footpath at the back of the 11-storey complex on Rose Valley Way in Zetland about 8.45pm on Monday.

Emergency services were called but she could not be revived.

Police appealed for help to find 29-year-old Zixi Wang, also known as Jessie - believed to be Ms Zhou's former partner - who was wanted on an outstanding arrest warrant in relation to the domestic-related incident.

Ms Wang was arrested on Tuesday afternoon near the Sea Cliff Bridge, north of Wollongong, after a member of the public spotted the wanted white Mercedes-Benz SUV.

The vehicle was seized for forensic testing, while she was taken to Wollongong Police Station for questioning.

She was charged on Wednesday with Ms Zhou's murder and taking and driving a conveyance without the consent of the owner.

Ms Wang's case came before magistrate Mark Douglass at Wollongong Local Court on Wednesday afternoon.

The 29-year-old made no application for bail and it was formally refused.

She's been remanded in custody until 28 August, when she is due to appear via video link at Central Local Court in Sydney.
