Ishmael Reuben Lopez

WACO, Texas — A man burned his mother, aunt and another woman by dousing them with gasoline and setting them on fire Wednesday, police said.

Waco police Sgt. Ryan Holt said Ishmael Reuben Lopez, 23, pulled a knife on his mother during an early morning argument at their home. When the other two women tried to stop Lopez, he retrieved a jug of gasoline, threw it on them and set them on fire, Holt said.

Lopez, who ran away and remained missing Wednesday afternoon, apparently was burned in the attack, the Waco Tribune-Herald reported in its online edition Wednesday.

Police have issued an arrest warrant charging Lopez with aggravated assault in connection with a previous unrelated incident.

Holt said the women had severe burns and were moved from a Waco hospital to Parkland Memorial Hospital in Dallas. Their conditions were not immediately available.

3 Women Set On Fire

by Nate Bishop

WACO - A Waco man who allegedly set his mother, aunt and another woman on fire has turned himself into the Waco Fire Marshal's office.

Authorities tell us the suspect, 23 year old Ishmael Rueben Lopez, turned himself in just before two Friday morning after lengthy negotiations.

They took Lopez to Hillcrest Baptist Medical Center to treat burns he sustained in the incident, before officially booking him at McLennan County Jail at 2:15 Friday morning.

Lopez is being charged with arson and aggravated assault. The assault allegedly occurred late Tuesday evening in the same house, but with a different victim. According to police, alcohol was involved in both instances.

Police tell us the suspect poured gasoline on the women and ignited his mother, 52-year-old Adela Lopez, his aunt, 44-year-old Dianna Gonzales and another woman, 43-year-old Lydia Herrera.

Officers tell us Ishmael Lopez got in an argument with his mother and pulled a knife on her. Gonzales and Herrera tried to break things up. That's when Ishmael Lopez grabbed a jug of gasoline that was in the kitchen and doused all three women with fuel and set them on fire.

The women were burned so severely that Adela and Gonzales were flown to Parkland Hospital in Dallas. As of Friday morning, the women were listed in critical and serious condition. Maybe we need a new sub-forum: Spic Family Values
