A 24-year-old #Texas woman has been charged with murder after her boyfriend died from injuries he sustained after she allegedly lit him on fire. Police allege that on July 18, Breana Johnson and her 25-year-old boyfriend drove up to a gas station in their Jeep. Johnson’s boyfriend sat in the car as she filled it with gas, the two of them arguing all the while. Eventually, police say things got so heated that Johnson intentionally set the Jeep afire, leading her boyfriend to jump out of the vehicle, engulfed in flames. As bystanders helped the victim, police claim that Johnson drove off. ABC8 reported that the victim, who suffered burns on most of his body, was taken to the hospital in critical condition. Officers arrested Johnson the next day and charged her with aggravated assault, but elevated the charge when the victim died of his injuries on Tuesday. According to police, 24-year-old Breana Johnson got in an argument with her 25-year-old boyfriend, Ricky Doyle, on July 18 at a gas station on East Mayfield Road. Investigators say Johnson pumped gasoline into the backseat where the victim was sitting, and intentionally set it on fire. As bystanders rushed to put out the flames with fire extinguishers, police say Johnson drove off. Johnson was arrested on one count of aggravated assault the next day. Doyle suffered burns on most of his body. He was declared dead at a hospital in Collin County on August 2. Arlington police say that they are working with the Tarrant County District Attorney's Office to upgrade the charge to murder. Johnson is currently in the Tarrant County Jail. #breanajohnson #rickydoyle https://www.instagram.com/p/Cg0nWE2MXjz/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
