FARGO, NORTH DAKOTA - A North Dakota woman has been charged with attempted murder and aggravated assault after allegedly striking her sleeping boyfriend in the head with a hatchet.
Lena Deoliveira, 23, is accused of launching the attack while staying in an attached garage in Fargo on September 5, around 5:30 a.m. The victim, Jonathan Granados, told police upon their arrival that he had been assaulted without warning and was transported to the hospital, according to InForum, the Forum of Fargo-Moorhead.
Another man at the scene, who was staying in the garage with the couple, later identified Deoliveira as the alleged assailant. He claimed Deoliveira is homeless, but she often stayed in the garage or at various homes in the neighborhood, where she would sleep on a couch or the floor.
According to that witness, there was a blood trail from the garage where they were staying.
He said he awoke to the sound of the man screaming, then saw Deoliveira behind the victim, allegedly with the hatchet.
