Maryland woman stabbed to death after rolling down car window to give woman money, police say

A Maryland woman was stabbed to death Saturday after she rolled down her car window to give money to a woman who was holding a sign that read, “Please help me feed my baby,” police said.

Jacquelyn Smith, 52, was killed around 12:30 a.m. Saturday while she was in her automobile with two other relatives in Baltimore after attending a family gathering, FOX Baltimore reported. Smith was in the front passenger seat when she spotted a woman who appeared to be holding a baby and a cardboard sign asking for help.

“This was a good Samaritan who saw an individual holding a sign, who appeared to be down on her luck,” said Jeremy Silbert, Baltimore police’s public information officer. “So, they stopped the car and gave her money.”

All the more reason for a cash free society. I give out five dollar gift cards to the street beggars.It's guilt free and altruistic .

They don't call it Charm City for nothing. Or, wait, maybe they do.

Something is not quite right here... Let me get this straight:
Traveling through one of the most dangerous drug-infested areas of Baltimore (East Baltimore), stopping the car on a mostly boarded-up neighborhood street, at 12:30 at night.
She must have some "street smarts", but she rolls down her window anyway, exposes her wallet to another woman that claims she needs money to feed her baby, and then gets ambushed and stabbed to death.
I feel badly for the victim, but as sure as the sun will rise tomorrow this was a drug deal gone bad.

I was born and raised in downtown Baltimore. Not one person I know or knew from my old neighborhood would EVER stop their car in that neighborhood and flash out money. Unless we really needed some reefer for the weekend.
It just wouldn't happen.
She was sitting shotgun (passenger seat). I'd like to know who was driving the car.
The truth will come out soon... There's too much publicity on this particular killing to have it just go away.

I'm the person that posted about the very real possibility that this was a drug deal gone badly.
I want to post that I now feel that in this case I was very wrong.
After watching a video interview of her husband (the driver), I am convinced that this was a case of someone attempting to be helpful - and losing their life while trying to help an allegedly needy person.
The only fault she had is that she was too giving - too trustful.
You just can't do that in today's world.
I apologize for my earlier post.
