Tynae Couts, 27, Charged With Murder in Stabbing in Jeffersonville, Ind.
Jeffersonville, Indiana — A Jeffersonville woman has been charged with murder after finding another dead inside an apartment complex on Monday morning. Police responded to Northtown Terrace complex on National Avenue upon receiving reports of an unresponsive female and confirmed she was deceased at the scene. They believe Tynae Couts (27), had engaged in an “altercation” at that apartment before killing occurred – they have not released a motive behind her actions but remain held without bond on a murder charge.
An apartment resident of Jeffersonville in Smoketown reported early morning of Feb 24 that a woman was shot to death inside. Officers received a call from Tammy Jo Blanton advising them that Joseph Oberhansley, an ex-partner who claimed he lived at her address was outside attempting to gain entry and refusing to leave; officers approached Oberhansley who then agreed to leave after being informed they no longer lived there and told to do so by officer contact – which eventually happened.
