TALLAHASSEE, Fla. - Police in Florida are looking for a suspect who poured gasoline on a Taco Bell customer and then set her on fire.

The incident occurred Wednesday evening at a Tallahassee Taco Bell restaurant, and the suspect is being sought for attempted murder after the victim was left with serious injuries.
