A recent stabbing incident in Chicago's South Side has led to serious charges against a 51-year-old woman. Yetsy Guipe, residing on the 5300 block of S. Dorchester, has been charged with aggravated battery with a deadly weapon and the attempted first-degree murder of a 26-year-old female. The Chicago Police Department announced the charges in a press release on October 23rd.
The incident occurred on the morning of October 22nd in the Hyde Park neighborhood. Guipe was apprehended by the police "less than 30 minutes" after the attack, which happened on the 5100 block of S. Blackstone. According to the CPD's statement, she was "quickly placed into custody on scene" following the stabbing incident that left a young woman seriously injured.
The authorities have so far released limited information regarding the altercation that led to the substantial criminal charges against Guipe. However, her arrest and the subsequent charges are indicative of a swift response from local law enforcement in response to violent crime in the city.
Guipe is expected to face her detention hearing at a courthouse located at 2600 S. California today. The hearing will likely offer to further illuminate the details surrounding the case, as well as determine the immediate future for the accused.
