Tot burned in Molotav attack still critical
The 3-year-old boy severely burned when a Molotov cocktail was tossed at his Stockton home over the weekend remained in critical condition Sunday, while one of the suspects in the attack remained at large, police said.
Jamal Lee Brice was still in extremely critical condition at Shriners Hospital in Sacramento, Stockton police Lt. Thomas Wells said.
The boy, injured along with his mother, suffered third-degree burns on 95 percent on 100 percent of his body.
His mother, Michelle Bridge, 21, was in fair condition at University of California, Davis, Medical Center, a hospital spokeswoman said Sunday night.
Police said Jamal and his mother were among a group of people standing in front of their home around 3 a.m. in the 700 block of East Swain Road when the explosive was thrown. It shattered just in front of the doorway, and the flaming liquid covered Jamal's body and sprayed his mother's legs.
Thomas Mason, 21, was arrested Saturday night at his home in the 9400 block of Hickock Drive on a charge of attempted murder.
His brother, Chauncy Mason, 24, of Stockton, was still at large Sunday night, Wells said. Chauncy Mason is described as black, 6 feet 2 inches tall, 200 pounds, with brown eyes and black hair. Anyone with information is asked to call Stockton police at 937-8377.
Thank you for the uupdate. If you hear any report of why this hideous act was done, please post it. Of course, I'm assuming the two monsters missed their intended targets(s).
