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.

This is what the Civil War was all about?
I have probably seen every episode————many times.
Short and to the point.

Well, it may be related to her work, or maybe the sewer slime hit on her, she turned him (it?) down, and the rest is history.
At least they’re trying harder than they did with Seth Rich.
It’s D.C. so certain questions must be asked.
Who did she work for?
Where did she work?
Who did she work for?
she kind looks like that Veritas girl, could this be a STHU message?
I wear white socks, but typically with actual, decent shoes. Does that mean you will use me to test your new gallows?
Yep, she’s actually White. More Spaniard than Hispanic, I would guess.
No, I heartily approve. Though I usually go with sneakers.
;)
“You pretty much put your life on the line when jogging in a big city, particularly around dusk.”
Particularly around dusky people.
At least she knew her fashion.
The picture is too blurry tell the race of the suspect. I can only guess, he looks like Sweden ?
Oh yes. I think she went to the ATM to withdraw 17 cents or something like that.
Well said. In the top photo she looks like Tammy Bruce.
Out minding your own business and some puke gets to decide it’s your last day.
She look like a man.
That used to be why Arlington existed, so we could keep DC on the other side of the river. But that was long ago.
