Debra Jean Stearns

On May 25, 2026, police were dispatched to an apartment located in Minneapolis, Hennepin County, Minnesota, based on a report of an individual who was bleeding. Officers arrived after paramedics, who were treating an adult male identified herein as Victim, and they directed officers to a female in a wheelchair. The female was identified as DEBRA JEAN STEARNS [DOB REDACTED]. STEARNS had dried blood on her shirt. Officers spoke to a witness in the apartment, who stated that she and Victim were in the living room laughing about something when STEARNS came out of the bedroom yelling at them to quit laughing because she thought they were laughing about STEARNS’s recent overdose.

STEARNS then “pinned” Victim to the apartment door and sliced him with a razor she uses to shave. STEARNS was arrested and remains in custody. Officers took a statement from Victim [NAME REDACTED], and his version of events was consistent with the witness’s version. Medical records revealed that Victim suffered a ten centimeter laceration of his left forearm, which required two sutures of the muscle layer and ten stitches of the skin to repair.
