HPD Sergeant Holbrook says the woman looked to be Hispanic and in her 40s. She is known to be a sex worker in the area, he said.
Investigators report she walked up to her friend's house on New York Street and told her he had been stabbed in the neck.
She had been bleeding profusely, she collapsed in the front yard and she died.
Officials believe she was stabbed about a block away off Yellowstone. There was a large blood trail, but she apparently tried to get to her friend's house while she was bleeding and eventually, she just bled to death in her friend's front yard, Sergeant Holbrook said.
