I suspect you're thinking of
Kitty Genovese.
She was attacked and stabbed while walking the 20 feet from her car to her apartment building. The attacker left, and came back five minutes later, and stabbed her a few more times. He left again, and came back some 5 to 10 minutes later, methodically tracked her down as she was trying to get into her own apartment building, raped her, and finished the murder. 38 people saw or heard the assault, but did nothing for 35 minutes. Once the police were called they were there in 3 minutes, but Genovese was already dead.
