Young woman doused in gas, set on fire while walking to store: Cops ‘mystified by what’s happened’
New York Post ^ | 12/26/24

A young North Carolina woman was doused in gasoline and set on fire by a sick suspect who then fled — leaving her heartbroken mother wondering, “How could they do this to my baby?”

Ashanti Downey, 20, was rushed to the emergency room the night of Dec. 16 with second-and third-degree burns down the right side of her body, according to WRAL News in Raleigh-Durham.

Staffers at Central Carolina Hospital in Sanford called the Harnett County Sheriff’s Office at about 7 p.m. to report the horrific act, which happened as Downey walked along Highway 27 toward a Dollar General in the same town.

Harnett County Sheriff Wayne Coats said this was one of the most heinous crimes his department has ever seen.

“It’s just a nightmare for this family,” he said, adding that cops are still searching for a motive.

“It could have been domestic-related,” he said. “It could have been a gang initiation. We’re mystified by what’s happened.”

It is because of all of the hate stirred up by the DEI propaganda.

I have no idea why this happened......I’ll say this though, it wouldn’t be the 1st time a black man has set a black female on fire as punishment......many times because the female wants to leave the relationship and the male does the unthinkable as payback.

I’ve seen it happen right here in my town at least twice.

Well, with all these new gangs on the east coast, very violent ones...I think the Sheriff has a clue.

This is the third incident in the past few weeks between NY and now NC. What southern gang has this as initiation?

“Time for people to start carrying fire extinguishers with them?”

You’d have to bribe someone in New York to get a license to carry a fire extinguisher. Then there would be a lot of no-go ‘sensitive areas”.

the cops are bamboozled and perplexed head scratchers. I for one have no idea why our crime rates are so high. And yet, we all know why, but we want to keep our jobs so we can keep feeding our families.

this happened on Dec16.
so if they can’t talk to her they have a suspect in custody. Have they done any investigating in the last 2 weeks?

Sounds like a sick, new trend is gaining traction. I guess the Knockout Game is so last year.

Doesn’t MS-13 initiation involve killing a black person or a cop? Perp Jami Raiziah Griffin, 23, of Sanford seems a bit old for initiation, but who knows?
