WASHINGTON, D.C. – An arrest has been made in connection with the death of a Harrisonburg woman in the nation’s capital.

Police say that they have charged 43-year old George Sydnor with first degree murder after 31-year old Christy Bautista was found stabbed to death inside a room at the Ivy City Hotel in northeast Washington D.C.

Police were called a little before seven this past Friday night finding Bautista unconscious and unresponsive. DC Fire and EMS responded and pronounced her dead on the scene.

Police did not offer any information on a possible motive or what may have led up to the stabbing.  Investigators are working to find out if and how Sydnor and Bautista knew each other.
