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 dont 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.

WASHINGTON An arrest has been made in the stabbing death of a jogger in an upscale Washington neighborhood a week after she became engaged, police said Thursday.

Crawford, a D.C. resident with a criminal past, was found Wednesday with the help of surveillance footage and tips from the public, said D.C. Police Chief Peter Newsham. Crawford was not cooperative with police and had a hand injury when he was apprehended, Newsham said. ...

I am guessing not Smith or Jones.
Guess I was wrong on this one. Apologies to the ‘ez’ brothers.
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.
with the help of surveillance footage
Had to have been some better footage than what this was.
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. Dont let your circumstances define you. Be an agent of change and lets 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.
Or maybe he was still wearing the bulbous “hat” and big yellow shirt..?
Looks more like a “Jamal”.
Could be. The area is right on the borderline between white and black areas.

You really think that guy was a regular follower of bridgework.com?
Haven't heard anything, but I'm sure the sick idiot was still wearing that same outfit.

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.
