Nancy Harris succumbed to her injuries, received when Matthew Lee Johnson doused her with a flammable liquid then set her on fire while robbing the convenience store where she clerked. Nancy Harris was a 76 year old white grandmother. Matthew Lee Johnson is a 36 year old black man.
Mr. President, what do you have to say about this crime? You know, if my grandmother was still alive, she'd look like Nancy.
...Police said Matthew Lee Johnson, 36, arrived at the Fina Whip-In at the corner of Broadway and Colonel Drive in Garland shortly after the store opened at 7 a.m. Sunday. Officers said he carried in a bottle of flammable liquid and used it to douse Harris and then set her on fire — after clearing out the cash register.
Harris suffered serious burns to her upper torso and face.
“It didn’t look like there was any resistance from her any time,” said Garland police spokesman Officer Joe Harn. “There’s no reason why you would set a 76-year-old woman on fire.”
