Homeless Man Set On Fire And Burned To Death

LOS ANGELES (AP) ― Los Angeles police say a homeless man has died after he was set on fire.

No arrests had been made Friday.

Police officials say officers were called to the mid-Wilshire area about 9:30 p.m. Thursday and found a man who apparently had been doused with a flammable liquid -- possibly gasoline -- and set ablaze.

He was later pronounced dead.

There's no word on his identity.

Capt. Dennis Cremins says a man in his 20s was seen running from the scene.
