CUTLER BAY, Fla. – A violent confrontation between sisters has left a 15-year-old girl critically injured and her 26-year-old sister in custody, prompting shock in the normally quiet community.
Authorities responded to a 911 call on Sunday afternoon reporting a disturbance at a home in Cutler Bay. Upon arrival, officers discovered the teenager suffering from multiple stab wounds. Police say the incident escalated quickly after the younger sister found Lynn My Le looking through her cellphone while she was still in bed.
Witnesses reported that the confrontation turned physical when the teenager confronted her sister about her actions and attempted to reclaim her phone. The situation intensified when Le left the room, returned with a knife, and pursued her sister as the girl tried to escape. It is alleged that Le caught up to the minor and stabbed her four times in the back.
Investigators indicated that the attack did not stop there. The older sister reportedly continued the assault, delivering at least six additional blows as the victim pleaded for mercy. The assault concluded with the teenager collapsed on the floor, bleeding from her injuries.
Emergency medical personnel transported the girl to a local hospital, where she remains in critical condition. Police noted that Le refrained from providing a statement during her interrogation and was subsequently arrested on charges of attempted murder.
Le appeared in court on Monday, where she was ordered held without bond at the Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center. A preliminary hearing is set for November 17, but no motive for the stabbing has yet been revealed, and investigators are continuing to explore the circumstances leading to the attack.
Family members have not publicly commented on the incident, and little is known about the dynamic between the sisters beyond their age difference.
Residents of Cutler Bay have voiced their alarm over the incident, expressing disbelief given the neighborhood’s reputation for safety. Local law enforcement reassured the community that there is no imminent danger related to this case.
The investigation remains active as authorities collect evidence and speak with witnesses who may have insight into the events that unfolded that day.
