Migrant Arrested After Stabbing Teen at Indiana Baseball Game

A 14-year-old girl was stabbed in the hand with a butcher-style knife during a baseball game in Lowell, Indiana, prompting a swift response from law enforcement. The attack occurred when the girl’s mother attempted to intervene, leading to an additional attempt on her life. Authorities quickly identified Dimas Gabriel Yanez, a 26-year-old previously deported migrant, as the primary suspect. He was considered armed and dangerous, leading to an extensive manhunt over the weekend. Yanez had been deported to Honduras in 2018 and was suspected of engaging in criminal activities across the United States since his illegal return. The Lake County Sheriff’s Department issued warnings to the public, urging them to remain vigilant as they searched for him. His capture came after he was spotted running through a cornfield, where he was apprehended following a foot pursuit. Upon his arrest, it was revealed that Yanez had attempted to alter his appearance by cutting his hair. The sheriff's department confirmed that the U.S. Department of Homeland Security had been notified of his arrest, indicating potential federal involvement in the case. The investigation remains ongoing, with authorities looking into Yanez's past activities and any other crimes he may have committed. The incident has raised concerns about public safety and the implications of illegal immigration, particularly regarding individuals with prior criminal records. As the investigation unfolds, more details are expected to emerge about Yanez's actions and the circumstances surrounding the attack on the young girl and her mother.
