An early morning stabbing near a Georgia Avenue NW strip club has left one person dead and one injured.

The Metropolitan Police Department says they received the call at just after 2 a.m. to respond to a stabbing in the 5300 block of Georgia Avenue, near the Macombo Lounge. A man and woman were transported to a local hospital, where the latter was pronounced dead. The condition of the man was not available.

Police told the Post a second man was seen running from the scene.

There is no suspect description at this time.

Update: The deceased victim has been identified as 40 year-old Candance Reed of Northwest. Here are more details via NBC4:

A friend of the woman killed told News4’s Megan McGrath there was an argument with a man in the bar, which ultimately led to the stabbing. She said the victim once worked as a dancer at the club but was there Thursday night for a birthday party.
