An arrest has been made in the stabbing death of a 35-year-old woman who was attacked as she jogged through D.C.'s Logan Circle neighborhood.

Wendy Martinez of Northwest Washington was out for a run in the 1400 block of 11th Street NW when she was stabbed multiple times just before 8 p.m. Tuesday. The suspect, who has not been identified, was arrested Wednesday night, sources tell News4.

D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser and Police Chief Peter Newsham were scheduled to appear at a news conference Thursday morning to give an update on the case.

After the stabbing, Martinez staggered into a nearby carryout restaurant. She collapsed a short time later.

The manager of the restaurant said he heard someone scream and saw Martinez covered in blood.

"I scared. I don’t know what happened, and I just try to call police," said the manager, who asked not to be identified.

Strangers rushed to the woman's side to help her, and the manager called 911. Martinez died of her injuries a short time later.

Police released surveillance video Wednesday afternoon showing the suspect walking along 11th Street NW. Footage from another camera shows him walking with a knife in his hand.

The knife used in the stabbing was found nearby.

D.C. police chief Peter Newsham said police do not have a motive yet, but the "unsettling" attack was likely random.

According to Entrepreneur Magazine, the GRM “aggregates legislation, regulations and government filings from thousands of federal, state and local agencies, uses artificial intelligence to structure it and normalize it, and delivers personalized data feeds to companies to show how government may be impacting their businesses.”

So we now need AI to figure out what the government is doing.

Another young woman killed while jogging at night. It’s ironic that she (and the one killed in Iowa) were doing something that ostensibly was to help them stay healthy. Engaging in that activity cost them their lives. They would have done better to stay home and smoke a pack of cigarettes.

From heavy.com...

“5. Wendy was a fan of empowering mantras.

Her Facebook page is filled with quotes meant to empower and inspire. “Get comfortable being uncomfortable.’ Every.single.day” she wrote, which is a Navy S.E.A.L. mantra. “Don’t let your circumstances define you. Be an agent of change and let’s empower each other to succeed,” was another inspiring quote she shared. Even the intro to her FB page reads “Life begins by stepping outside of your comfort zone.”

Could be. The area is right on the borderline between white and black areas.

She practically told the killer where to find her.

You really think that guy was a regular follower of bridgework.com?

Sadly, a lifetime of free room and board is the worst this killer will get.

“”Name of suspect?”
Feral Dindu is my guess at this point. “

YESSS! When they don’t name the person immediately, you have to assume it’s one of the Gibbsmedatt clan!

Ole Muriel “Woof” Bowser will want to keep the lid on the identity as long as she can.
