Background: Surveillance video obtained by WPLG showing Lynn My Le”s sister being loaded into an ambulance (WPLG). Inset: Lynn My Le (Miami-Dade Corrections and Rehabilitation).
On Monday, 26-year-old Lynn My Le faced a judge and learned she would be detained at the Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center without the option of bond, as she confronts charges of attempted murder. Le’s arrest took place on Sunday when law enforcement responded to her family’s residence in Cutler Bay, Florida. According to a report reviewed by Law & Crime, the 15-year-old victim sustained at least ten stab wounds, allegedly inflicted by her older sister, Le.
The victim relayed to police that the violent encounter occurred after she awoke to find Le rifling through her phone.
The arrest report details that the teenager had been asleep in the living room when she discovered Le perusing her phone. Upon confronting Le and retrieving her device, the teenager questioned her sister’s actions. Rather than providing an explanation, Le allegedly retrieved a black knife, escalating the confrontation.
According to the arrest report, the teenager was sleeping in the home’s living room when she caught Le going through her phone. The teen grabbed her cellphone from Le and asked her why she was looking through it. Instead of explaining, Le allegedly fetched a black knife.
Police said that the teen ran toward the front door to escape, but Le caught up to her and allegedly stabbed her in the back with the knife four times. After the teen collapsed to the floor, Le’s alleged attack continued with at least six more strikes with the knife. The teen “pleaded for her life,” and Le stopped, leaving her younger sister bleeding on the ground.
WPLG, a local, independent news station, reported that the teen was brought to the hospital in critical condition. Le, police noted, “refused to speak to detectives” and was arrested.
Le was charged with one count of attempted murder and is being held without bond. Her arraignment is scheduled for Nov. 17.
