A woman was taken into custody for allegedly throwing a firebomb at her ex-boyfriend's house, killing his wheelchair-bound mother.
The man, his mother, and another woman were all inside the home at the time of the incident. Two managed to jump out a back window, according to KJBK.
The mom was killed in the fire while the other two were able to jump out of a back window.
The firebomb was intended for the victim’s son, authorities said, adding that there is evidence that the female suspect bought an accelerant from a nearby gas station shortly before the incident.
Detroit police arrested the ex-girlfriend, who was found hiding out at a motel in Livonia. Another woman who was with her was also taken into custody.
