Still no arrest in random 1988 killing of SA girl, 7, in laundromat

SAN ANTONIO – San Antonio police believe the man who stabbed a 7-year-old girl to death in a laundromat in 1988 was angry about a vending machine. All these years later, they still don't know that man's identity.

Jennifer Delgado was in a laundromat on the 100 block of Westoak Road with her mother on June 6, 1988. Police said the man walked into the store and went to the vending machine.

"After becoming angry with the vending machine, the white male went to Jennifer Delgado and stabbed her once in the abdomen," police said. "(He) then stabbed Jennifer's mother before fleeing."
