Wendy Martinez: Police Believe Stabbing May Have Been Racially Motivated
Yahoo ^ | 9/22/18

Police believe the brutal stabbing of a Washington D.C. jogger may have been racially motivated.

Anthony Crawford, 23, was arrested Thursday in connection with the murder of 35-year-old Wendy Martinez. He’s been charged with first-degree murder.

Investigators mentioned that Martinez's murder might have been “racially motivated” because Crawford “does not like white people,” according to WUSA9.

Police said the attack was “unprovoked,” and did not appear to be a robbery. Crawford did not cooperate with police, authorities said.

Video footage captured Martinez, who was newly-engaged, stumbling into a Chinese take-out restaurant on Tuesday, covered in blood. She then collapsed.

Police said she’d been stabbed 7 times, including in the neck, face and head.

A bloody knife and blood-covered t-shirt were discovered several blocks away from the stabbing, police said.

Authorities also released footage of the suspect fleeing the scene.

"This is one of those types of unsettling incidents that sometimes happens in a large city, but this seems like a singular incident," Chief of Police Peter Newsham said during a press conference.

The PC DC Police can’t call it a hate crime I see.

Black racist butchers get away with all the hate they want, as usual.

"In a statement mourning her death, her family reportedly said she had gotten engaged last week.

They remembered her as a “devout Christian” and “avid runner” who was dedicated to her friends and driven to pursue her professional dreams.

“Everything you hope that a daughter and a friend would be,” her family said, adding, “Simply put, Wendy was fearfully and wonderfully made! Now we know she has found the one whom her soul loved. (Song of Solomon 3:4).”"

Of course..the victim is not the right race for it to be considered a hate crime

Obama and all the other Leftists who promote hate of Whites due to ‘White Privelege’. So much damage to the country by Leftists and they could not care less.

It is highly unusual for a black to be charged with a hate crime against a white, but it happens more than the reverse.

Didn’t the killer know that people named Martinez aren’t white according to liberals?

Well, the police are being surprisingly honest. And, with near certainty, they are correct.

Looks like they were going to be happy. The Summer of ‘42 popped into my mind with that ocean beach backround for some reason. What a heartbreaker for that young man.

This really is frightening to me on a personal level. I work at Thomas Circle and jog around Logan often. How terrible.
