18-year-old Aurora woman, Isabella Guzman, stabbed mother 79 times
Eighteen-year-old Isabella Yun-Mi Guzman emailed
her mother "you will pay" and later spit in her face on the day before
she allegedly killed her mother by stabbing her 79 times in her face and
neck in the bathroom of their Aurora home, according to court records.
An
autopsy showed the mother, 47-year-old Yun-Mi Hoy, died after being
stabbed repeatedly in the face and neck, according to an arrest
affidavit obtained by 7NEWS.The teen's stepfather, Ryan Hoy, said
his wife was attacked as she went to take a shower in an upstairs
bathroom on Wednesday night. The stepfather told police he was eating
dinner downstairs when he heard a thumping sound upstairs and his wife
calling his name.
The stepfather said he rushed upstairs and heard
the shower running and tried to push his way through the closed
bathroom door. He said he caught a glimpse of Isabella, who pushed the
door shut with her back and locked it.
Ryan Hoy said he saw blood
seeping from under the bathroom door and ran to get his cellphone and
called 911, telling a call-taker that he believed his wife was being
attacked, the affidavit said.The stepfather rushed back to the bathroom with 911 still on the phone and heard his wife say "Jehovah," the affidavit said.
Then
the bathroom door opened and Isabella walked out, holding a knife
downward in her right hand, the stepfather said. He said Isabella never
said a word and stared straight ahead as she walked past him and went
downstairs.
Ryan Hoy said he looked into the bathroom and saw the
naked body of his wife, covered in blood on the floor. Her throat had
been slashed, he told police, and a baseball bat was lying under her
body.Following the 911 dispatcher's instructions, Ryan Hoy tried
to open his wife's airway and perform CPR. But he later told police his
wife's eyes were staring blankly and he thought she was already dead.
She was pronounced dead at the scene.
The stepfather said Isabella
Guzman took the knife and fled the home clad only in a pink athletic
bra and turquoise shorts, the affidavit said. She was arrested Thursday
afternoon by Aurora police at a parking garage 2851 S. Parker Road, near
East Hampden Avenue.
Ryan Hoy said his stepdaughter had argued
with her mother often since she was young and, when she was about 7
years old, she had been sent to live with her father, Robert Guzman, for
a while.
The stepfather said Isabella had become more
"threatening and disrespectful" to her mother recently, including
yelling at her mom and spitting in her face on Tuesday. Yun-Mi Hoy was
so frightened of her daughter she asked her husband to sleep in the
bedroom with her, the stepfather told police.
Then on Wednesday
morning Yun-Mi Hoy showed her husband an email her daughter sent her
that said in effect "you will pay," Ryan Hoy told police.This
prompted the mother to call police later Wednesday and ask officers to
come to the home because her daughter "had threatened to harm her," the
affidavit said.
Officers responding to the domestic disturbance
arrived at the home and spoke with the mother and daughter, cautioning
Isabella that her mother could throw her out of the home for her
behavior, Ryan Hoy told police.
The teen's father, Robert Guzman,
told 7NEWS he had counseled his daughter at her mother's request just
hours before the killing. He said Isabella's mother was concerned about
her teenage rebelliousness and her need to respect her elders.The
stepfather said things appeared to have calmed down after the police
visit and the teen stayed in her room for the rest of the evening.
On Friday morning, a judge ordered Isabella Guzman held without bond on investigation of first-degree murder.Guzman
had a bandage on her right wrist and was wearing an orange jail
jumpsuit during the brief appearance in Arapahoe County court, our
partners at The Denver Post reported. She is being held in the Arapahoe
County Jail.
