A 23-year-old North Dakota woman’s grinning mugshot has gone viral after authorities accused her of attempted murder in a hatchet attack on her boyfriend while he was asleep. Witnesses overheard that attack and said it sounded like “splitting wood.”
According to the North Dakota news outlet Valley News Live, the incident happened on September 5, 2025. Lena Deoliveira, her boyfriend Jonathan Granados, and the witness — unnamed in the press — all sheltered in an unattached garage in Fargo, and were possibly unhoused when the assault happened.
