A woman repeatedly stabbed a 15-year-old girl inside a Cutler Bay home Sunday afternoon after an argument over the teen’s cell phone, the Miami-Dade Sheriff’s Office said.
The girl was sleeping in the living room of the home at the 21000 block of Southwest 92nd Avenue around 3:20 p.m. when she awoke to see 26-year-old Lynn My Le looking through her phone, according to Le’s arrest report.
The girl, who was not named in the report, nor was her relationship with Le explained, confronted Le and asked her why she was going through her phone, detectives said.
The girl took the phone away, and Le responded by grabbing a “black knife,” the report states. The girl ran toward the front door, but detectives say Le caught up to her and stabbed her in the back about four times, causing her to collapse,
Le then stabbed the girl about six more times as the teen pleaded for her life, according to the report.
The girl survived, but the sheriff’s office said she was left with about 10 puncture wounds. Detective Samantha Choon told the Herald Monday that the teen is in “critical, but stable” condition.
The report noted that Le refused to speak with detectives. She was booked into Turner Guilford Correctional Center on one count of attempted murder. Her bond information was not immediately available, nor was information on her legal representation.

Brooklyn detectives are on the hunt for a killer who stabbed a man to death at a street corner on a rainy Wednesday morning.
Police said the violence occurred near the corner of East 53rd Street and Avenue K in Marine Park at about 8:01 a.m. on Aug. 7.
Officers from the 63rd Precinct, in responding to a 911 call about a reported assault, found the victim, a 45-year-old man, stabbed multiple times about the body, including in his abdomen.
The 63rd Precinct had not had a single homicide all year through Aug. 4, according to the most recent CompStat report. The precinct had tallied two murders at the same point in 2023. Overall crime in the 63rd Precinct is down 6.23% year-to-date.

As of midday Wednesday, police did not yet know what the motive was for the deadly assault. Cops believe the victim had been attacked by an unidentified perpetrator wearing all-black clothing who was seen fleeing the location on foot to parts unknown.
EMS rushed the wounded man to Brookdale University Hospital in serious condition — but he took a turn for the worse not long after, and was ultimately pronounced dead. Police have not yet released his identity, pending family notification.

The 6-year-old Palestinian boy allegedly stabbed to death by his Chicagoland landlord will be buried Monday afternoon.
“As they say, the smallest coffins are the heaviest,” CAIR-Chicago executive director Ahmed Rehab said in a statement announcing the 1 p.m. CT funeral for Wadea Al-Fayoume at the Bridgeview, Ill. Mosque Foundation.
The victim, who recently celebrated a birthday, will be laid to rest at Parkholm Cemetery in LaGrange, Ill. following the service.
The United States Department of Justice is investigating the killing of Al-Fayoume and the stabbing of his 32-year-old mom, Hanaan Shahin, as a federal hate crime. Shahin was stabbed multiple times but is expected to survive.
Their landlord, Joseph Czuba, was arrested in connection with the attack believed to be fueled by the war between Hamas and Israel that began last week.
“I am heartbroken by the abhorrent killing of Wadea Al-Fayoume, a six-year-old child who died after being stabbed 26 times with a military-style knife,” Attorney General Merrick B. Garland said in a statement announcing the federal government’s decision.

The victims moved into the ground floor of the Plainfield, Ill., home where the attack occurred in 2021 and had no previous issues with Czuba, according to ABC News. Family members said Shahin left the West Bank 12 years ago to escape turmoil in the Middle East. Al-Fayoume’s father said his son enjoyed soccer and basketball.
