Officers cordoned off an area consisting of several blocks around Southwest Goodwin Place and Southwest 19th, though the roads were reopened by early afternoon.
Amber Sullivan, a neighbor, said she was alerted by her 8-year-old son that there was a person on fire across the road. The boy had seen smoke, Sullivan said, and when he went to look, he saw the victim’s leg and could hear moaning.
