A 76-year-old woman who was doused with flammable liquid and set on fire during a robbery Sunday morning has been identified as Nancy Harris of Garland.
Police tell us she remains in critical condition at Parkland Memorial Hospital. She suffered burns over 40 percent of her body in the attack at a convenience store where she works near Broadway Boulevard and Colonel Drive.
Suspect Matthew Lee Johnson, 36, has been jailed on a criminal attempted capital murder charge. His bail was set at $500,000.
Harris’s neighbors said they were shocked by the brutality of the attack on a selfless woman who kept a close eye on her neighborhood.
“I can’t understand why someone, some idiot, would do this to her,” said Margaret Tatum, 70, who lives a few houses down from Harris in the neighborhood just a few blocks from the crime scene.
“I know she’s in a lot of pain,” Tatum said. “I can feel that pain here,” she said as she pointed to her heart.
“I’ve been crying all morning,” Tatum said. “I couldn’t sleep last night.”
Another neighbor, Jim Bertucci, 62, said Harris always seemed to remember little details about everyone and what was going on in their lives.

Sorry Mods—I’m just so mad over this I gotta say it.
Effin’ ni99a POS.
Death penalty IMO. We execute people for these types of crimes they’rd be fewer of them.
And have to pay for his health care, his education, and anything else he wants? Not a personal attack, but are you nuts?
Double tap the baseborn right between the eyes. That is the only solution, the ammo, that I would pay for.
the KKK can't revive itself. The Democrats, which were members of the KKK are too busy trying to convince the world that Republicans are the racists.
I could never figure out why, when ALL KKK members were democrats, and ALL states in the south that had separate restrooms, water fountains, restaurants, schools for blacks were democrat states...Orville Faubus, George Wallace at.al. were ALL democrats, yet the blacks follow them like lemmings.....amazing!!!
Start off by splitting him from crotch to eye socket with a dull deer antler.
I would say use the same technique they use to stop a zombie
right in the head.
The guy is a freaken animal. Burn his sorry arse as punishment.
Alleged Perp”? The guy is a freaken animal. Burn his sorry arse as punishment.
Agree!
“Why aren’t people using their weapons to protect young white women and elderly helpless grandmothers?”
Because they would be charged with murder for disparaging Holder’s people.
