A man suspected of murdering his girlfriend is at large after calling a police tip hotline and vowing to end his own life while "killing and shooting some cops".
Joshua Martinez, 33, allegedly stabbed his girlfriend last week and then called the NYPD Crime Stoppers tip hotline.
The suspect then dared police officers to come and get him, according to the New York Post.
During the call, he reportedly vowed to end his own life and take some of the officers down with him.
Carol Nystrom was found dead in her apartment in Inwood, Manhattan, on Thursday, authorities said.
The exact cause of death is under investigation with police previously saying Nystrom was shot in the arm and torso.
On Saturday, a man police believe was Martinez rang the hotline, a department spokesman said.
“He called in and said he is planning on killing himself by shooting and killing some cops,” the NYPD said.
Martinez is 5-foot-6, 165 pounds and was last seen wearing a gray Yankees jersey.
He is known to hang around Washington Heights and Inwood, police said.
Martinez remains at large while police investigate the case.
