The suspect in the fire at Southlake Villas apartments in Harris County was identified as Crystal D. Randall, the Harris County Fire Marshal confirmed to Fox News Digital on Tuesday.
Investigators said the fire was sparked following a domestic disturbance that led a woman to burn her boyfriend’s clothing in a barbecue pit on an apartment patio, FOX26 Houston reported.
