A woman died Thursday morning at a hospital after police say she was stabbed in South Beach.
The woman, identified Friday as 18-year-old Jade Wilson, was involved in a fight shortly before the stabbing, said Miami Beach police spokesman Ernesto Rodriguez.
The stabbing happened at Lincoln Road and Collins Avenue just before 5 a.m. Thursday.
Investigators believe she was stabbed by another woman. Her attacker ran off.
On Friday night, Rodriguez said there were three people of interest — two women and a man — that police would like to question in their homicide investigation.
In one of two videos police released, there’s an overview of the initial altercation between Wilson and another woman.
The second video shows a woman running from the scene northbound on Collins Avenue wearing an open jean jacket with a wig in her hand, Rodriguez said.
A man is then seen wearing all black and also walking northbound, followed by a woman with blonde hair and wearing a black shirt. The two still images capture both women earlier in the evening at a separate Miami Beach location, police say.
Police also released still images from the video that show two women.
