Police met with the friends and obtained a warrant to search Martinez&#8217;s apartment, which was in the 4400 block of Frankford Avenue.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>During the search, authorities say they found Martinez&#8217;s body stabbed multiple times, wrapped up in a shower curtain and trash bags, and placed inside a futon. The 21-year-old&#8217;s death was then investigated as a homicide. Days later, police identified Sanchez-Reyes as a person of interest in the case.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s still unclear how the two women knew each other.<\/p>\n<p>      <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/philadelphia\/search\/author\/jessica-macaulay\/\" class=\"content-author__name\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Jessica  MacAulay<\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"content-author__text\">Jessica MacAulay is a digital producer for CBSPhiladelphia.com.
