Surveillance video released by police of a person of interest in Wendy K. Martinez's Sept. 19 death

Police have arrested a suspect in the fatal stabbing of a recently engaged 35-year-old woman who was jogging near her home Tuesday evening in the Logan Circle neighborhood of D.C., according to our editorial partners at the Washington Post. A news conference is planned at the site of the killing, the 1400 block of 11th Street NW.

It was a picture-perfect night to be outdoors, with temperatures in the 70s and clear skies. She called her a vibrant, lovely young woman who was in the midst of the "most handsome moment of her life" before she was killed.

Police don't believe Martinez knew her attacker.

Authorities said they received tips from the community after a surveillance image was released to help identify the suspect. Security cameras from inside the Chinese American eatery shows the Georgetown University alumnae bleeding from her neck before collapsing on the ground.

She was taken to hospital, where she was pronounced dead.

The suspect was described as a black man wearing a mustard-colored shirt and dark sweatpants, and he fled southbound on 11th Street, according to police. You can see a picture and a video of him below.

Anthony Crawford has been charged with first degree murder for what police believe was a random knife attack on Tuesday night around 20:00 (01:00GMT).
