A 15-year-old girl woke up on a South Florida living-room couch to her sister rifling through her phone — minutes later, she was bleeding on the floor, stabbed about 10 times, police allege.
Lynn My Le, 26, was arrested Sunday around 3:20 p.m. in her Cutler Bay home and charged with felony attempted murder, according to an arrest affidavit cited by CBS News.
After the teen confronted Le and tried to take back her phone, Le armed herself with a knife and, as the girl ran toward the front door, stabbed her about four times in the back and roughly six more after she collapsed, police allege, according to Local10 and NBC Miami.
Le only stopped after “the victim pleaded for her life,” the affidavit alleges, per CBS.
Responding Miami-Dade Sheriff’s deputies found the victim with at least 10 puncture wounds, according to the outlet.
“The teen is critical, but stable,” Detective Samantha Choon said Monday, according to the Miami Herald.
Le refused to speak with detectives and was booked into the Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center, police said, CBS reported.
Le appeared in court Monday and remained in custody; a judge denied bond, appointed her a public defender and ordered her to stay away from the alleged victim, according to Local10, NBC Miami and the Miami Herald.
Authorities have not discussed a motive, per the outlets.
