According to police, at approximately 5 p.m., on Saturday, Aug. 3, Martha Rodriguez fell and hit her head on the pavement after being pushed during a dispute between two men in front of 720 Lenox Ave.

EMS transported Rodriguez with head trauma to NYC Health + Hospitals/Harlem in critical condition and she succumbed to her injuries on Friday, Aug. 6.

Her death was deemed a homicide last week by the Office of Chief Medical Examiner.

Anyone with information in regard to this incident is asked to call the NYPD's Crime Stoppers Hotline at 1-800-577-TIPS (8477).

was she pushed/was she bumped? when you're running for your life mistakes can happen! I'm extremely sympathetic that tge young lady lost her life. but I can almost guarantee she wasn't pushed! I'm only guessing, but I can assume it her death wasn't on purpose! being chased by Somone with a knife has gotta be scary.
