Wendy Martinez was stabbed to death Tuesday in what detectives are calling a random act of violence.

Police say they were able to track down 23-year-old Anthony Crawford thanks to surveillance video.

Her mother, Cora Martinez, says the 35-year-old will be buried in her wedding dress she picked out over the weekend after getting engaged just last week.

Martinez says she forgives Crawford because "it was evil being incarnated in him."

Crawford's attorney, Eugene Ohm, says there's no evidence linking his client to the attack, which authorities say was captured on security video.
