A Memphis man remains in the hospital at the burn unit after police say he was set on fire. Authorities identified two suspects wanted for the crime.
Police say the man suffered injuries to most of his body.
Prior arrests meant Memphis police already had mug shots on file for 26-year-old Robert Glasper and 19-year-old Renard King. Police identified the two Thursday for allegedly being responsible for a horrific crime two weeks ago.
It happened in the 700 block of Glankler Street. A man was doused with gasoline and set on fire in a vacant lot behind an abandoned house.
Neighbor Robert Pearson could not recall the victim's name but remembers his screams.
"He was in the weeds. And I just came home from getting groceries. He was over there hollering, his skin peeling off," said Pearson.
Pearson had no clue who committed the crime, but said the devil himself would not deserve such treatment.
The victim was burned over 60 percent of his body and was initially hospitalized in extremely critical condition.
Arrest warrants have been issued for both Glasper and King charging the pair with one count each of criminal attempt first degree murder.
Anyone with information on where those two men might be should call CrimeStoppers at 901-528-CASH or the Tillman Station precinct at 901-636-3214.
They’ll use the “maybe they were bored” defense.
Bored or not, this kinda behavior is frowned upon.
Pictures of the alleged perps?
Are people being born without souls?
Yes the two suspected perps are “Sons.”
Was race a factor? We have mug shots for the perps... check. No mention of the victim.
Which of the three looks like the president?
Well, at least the system worked.
Another weak excuse to put black men in prison #libs
The one on the left might actually have been trying to cook the guy to eat him...
Was the victim white?
“The victim was burned over 60 percent of his body and was initially hospitalized in extremely critical condition.”
Prayers up - this poor man is going to need them. I’m sure FReepers who work in the medical field can explain this better than I can, but it is my understanding that survival in extreme burn cases is a long shot. Even if the victim survives the initial trauma and damage, infection can set in extremely easily.
That’s not even considering the recovery ahead if he does make it.
Prison is not what the crime warrants.
Has open war been declared? When the federal support of these punks goes, how bad will this really get.
God help the US.
BTW, when you are out and about: Have situational awareness at all times.
That King guy looks like he could be Obama’s son. Glasper, eh, I think he could be more Moochelle’s.
