Investigators said the 47-year-old suspect reportedly entered the convenience store on Broadway around 8 a.m. and used some type of flammable liquid, likely gasoline, to start the blaze
Police have arrested a man suspected of intentionally setting a Chula Vista 7-Eleven on fire Saturday morning, seriously injuring one worker and leaving another in critical condition.
When officers arrived at the location, smoke was billowing out of the front door, police said. A female employee with significant burns had already walked out, but officers could hear another woman inside. Police were able to identify the suspect’s vehicle and its license plate and entered the information into a criminal database. Around 2 p.m., officers in Redlands, California, roughly 100 miles north, received a notification from a license plate reader system that the man’s vehicle was in their city.
