Maria Bazan, 46, died after being set on fire on January 20, 2018. The attack occurred inside a mobile home in Puyallup, Washington, during an argument with her boyfriend, Angel Luis Sierra Reyes, who doused her with gasoline and ignited her. Neighbors attempted to rescue her; she suffered severe burns and died two weeks later.
Investigators found Reyes had a history of domestic violence. He was arrested, charged with first-degree murder, and during the trial admitted to the act, saying he blacked out with anger. He was sentenced to 25 years in prison for Maria’s murder.
The case received attention because of the brutality of the killing and its connection to domestic violence. Does anyone have information about Maria’s life in Puyallup or knew her and can help fill in missing details?
