Police in San Francisco are searching for Dexter Oliver, the man who reportedly set a woman on fire near her home in the Bayview District on Jan. 6, 2013.
Oliver reportedly had an argument with a woman in a laundromat on Sunday. Reports indicate that he had a "dating relationship" for about three months with the woman.
KGO-TV spoke to witnesses at the scene who state that the young woman was running down the street after Oliver threw gasoline all over her and set her on fire. Witnesses report that she was able to take her burning sweater off as she ran from Oliver.
Precious Craig, the victim's sister, told KGO-TV that Lamare and Oliver had an argument over whether to leave laundry at a laundromat prior to the attack.
