After stabbing a fourteen-year-old girl, a guy who entered the nation illegally is accused of attempting to murder her. Over the weekend, it occurred at a young baseball game in northwest Indiana.
Matt Ramian informed I-Team 8 that he witnessed Dimas Yanes assault a player’s sibling while he was coaching third base.
Yanes was deported in 2018, according to the Lake County sheriff, and was then in the country illegally. According to Raiman, “It didn’t feel real. Nothing felt quite right. This didn’t seem to be happening in real life.
According to him, Yanes approached the 14-year-old girl who was sitting on the bleachers by herself, took out a big knife, and attacked.
“Just started swinging this knife on her like two, three times, and then he jumped off, took off running. He pulled the knife out on two other people as he was running, and it was just insane to watch because I’m on third base just trying to get the boys off the field.”
At that point, Yanes was being pursued by a gang of dads. He got away, but the next day, while fleeing a cornfield, cops discovered him.
Yanes informed authorities that he is from Honduras and that he entered the US through Texas in 2022, according to court filings. He claims that what he did was not deliberate and that he was instructed to do it by someone who was pursuing him.
Raiman stated that, “Everybody wants to know why he chose her. Just because she was the only one on the bleacher? Was it because she was, maybe, he thought she was vulnerable? No one knows.”
The 14-year-old girl is resilient in spite of what transpired.
Raiman stated that, “She’s a soldier. She’s a trooper, man. She’s doing really well. She insisted on going to school today, and her mom told her, ‘You know, you should stay home,’ and I know she wanted to go to school, so she did.”

Although the family requests privacy, the teen’s mother thanked the first responders in a statement and added
“This is a hard time for us and still in shock and haven’t processed that this is real. You don’t believe this can happen to you and when it does it’s a shock. The community came together to search for the suspect on their days off and immediately chased him. it’s just so amazing how many nice people there are in the world to come together to catch the bad ones.”
Ramian hopes that the incident won’t paint immigrants in a negative light overall. It is unfortunate if you get here in a kind manner and then something like this occurs, harming their reputation just for that reason. What does that say? The group is ruined by one bad apple.
Ramian and the Lowell baseball community have announced that they would be hosting a fundraiser to assist with covering the teen’s medical expenses and possible treatment costs.
