A man was set on fire yesterday at the Mahogany Heights community on
the George Price Highway.
Yesterday evening at 5:40, police responded to the report of a fire in
the village and found 25 year old Floyd Escarpeta with burns across his
upper body. Reports say he was asleep inside his house when a man he
knows walked into his room doused him with gas, and then set him on
fire. He fled the scene but was detained shortly after by police.
Escarpeta was rushed to the KHMH, but his condition is unknown at this
time.
