A 63-year-old man indicted in connection with a 2025 Dallas RV fire that killed a woman and her dog was arrested Thursday in Galveston, authorities said.
Matthew Grindberg, 63, was arrested Thursday at his Galveston home, the Galveston Municipal Police Association said in a Facebook post.
Grindberg was arrested on a Dallas County capital murder warrant, according to the post. Galveston police detectives and Dallas police also executed a search warrant at Grindberg’s residence.
Dallas County prosecutors accuse Grindberg of using an open flame to set the fatal fire and hiring DeAnthony Lewis and Lamont Richardson to kill 68-year-old Leslie Denise McBride for payment, according to court records obtained by the Houston Chronicle. McBride and her dog died in the Oct. 19, 2025, RV fire in East Dallas.
McBride, 68, died in an RV fire Oct. 19, 2025, in the 10300 block of Eastwood Drive, according to the Dallas Morning News.
The case was assigned to the 203rd Judicial District Court, according to court documents.
