Police were hunting Wednesday for the mysterious man who fatally stabbed a female jogger in a seemingly random attack on a Washington, D.C., street Tuesday night.
After she was attacked around 8 p.m. in the Logan Circle neighborhood, the woman, 35-year-old Wendy K. Martinez, stumbled into a takeout restaurant, where customers attempted to save her life, police said.
In surveillance video, Martinez appeared to alert customers to her attacker. Some people ran out to look for the assailant while others helped the jogger, FOX5DC reported. Police don't believe Martinez previously knew her attacker.
She later died at a hospital. The knife used in the assault was found at the scene.
“It is more likely a random act than anything else, but we’re going to look at all possibilities,” Police Chief Peter Newsham said during a Wednesday news conference, adding patrons at the restaurant "did the best they could" to save Martinez's life.
Help us identify the person responsible for the murder of Wendy Martinez. She was stabbed to death last night in the 1400 block of 11th St, NW.

"It’s horrible to see something like this happen in the city," he said.
Authorities are desperately searching for the suspected assailant, last seen in blurry surveillance video wearing a mustard-colored shirt, dark-colored pants and sandals with white socks. He fled the scene heading southbound on 11th Street, police said.

Seems like there’s something missing in the description of the perp. Hmmmmm.....
Well if we happen to see his pants and shirt anywhere, we'll surely phone it in.
Suppected she was white and the attacker black when I heard it on the news this morning.
War on white people
Some people fail to realize there are animals on the loose.
That really makes me angry.
Yes, it’s really helpful to know the suspect was wearing white socks...when you don’t know what his skin color was. Why don’t they stop describing these suspects at all?
Wearing some type of weird head gear as well.
Police are looking for a suspect they characterize as "a guy," and are asking the public for help.
Looks like a fro sack.
True!
Political Correctness (and Democrats - same thing) will be the death of the West.
Yes. It's called an "Afro".
Who was she supposed to testify against?
You know, that was my first take on it as well.
The attacker mistook her for White.
If oama had a son...
Back long ago LAPD used to call black suspects “male normal” over the radio.
[and sandals with white socks]
That should be a crime as well.
[white socks]
That’s socksist!
Seriously, pretty hard to defend against such attacks.
