Homeless woman suffers severe burns in alleged attack by suspect
( — A woman has been arrested after setting a homeless woman on fire, said the Sacramento County Sheriff's Office. According to SCSO, Central Division Patrol Deputies responded to the area of 17th Avenue and Stockton Boulevard in South Sacramento to assist Fire Department crews for a report that a woman had been set on fire on Saturday night. When deputies arrived at the scene at around 9:30 p.m., they saw the victim, a 49-year-old homeless woman, had suffered severe burn injuries, said SCSO. The victim had burns to almost 1/3 of her body, which included her face, torso, arms, and back. SCSO stated that fire crews transported the victim to the hospital to be treated for her wounds. When she arrived at the hospital, she was intubated for many days and was unable to speak or provide a statement. Amazon Prime Members are getting ready for Prime Day in July Deputies interviewed witnesses who were at the scene and saw the incident, and helped extinguish the victim when she was on fire, stated SCSO. The sheriff's department started its investigation and identified the suspect as Jacqueline Popaibarra, who is 34 years old, according to SCSO. After crews reviewed the surveillance video and spoke to many witnesses, they learned that Popaibarra drove to where the victim had set up to sleep for the night and started a verbal argument, stated SCSO. She then threw what deputies believe to be a fire accelerant of some sort onto the victim, then set her on fire, said SCSO. People who were around the area helped to put out the fire when Popaibarra started to kick the victim before fleeing in her vehicle. After days later, SCSO said that the deputies were able to speak to the victim on Tuesday, who positively identified Popaibarra as her assailant. The Sacramento Police Department has arrested Popaibarra on an unrelated robbery charge, and the Sheriff's Detectives added a felony charge related to this incident on Tuesday. Popaibarra remains in custody on $400,000 bail for the felony charge arrest in Sacramento County Main Jail and is scheduled to appear in court on Thursday. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc.
