DALLAS – Three people are now charged with capital murder for allegedly starting an RV fire that killed a woman in the White Rock area of Dallas.<\/p>\n
White Rock Fatal Fire <\/p>\n
What’s new:<\/p>\n
Dallas police on Friday announced capital murder indictments for 31-year-old Lamont Richardson, 35-year-old DeAnthony Lewis, and 63-year-old Matthew Grindberg.<\/p>\n
Grindberg was arrested at his home in Galveston on Thursday.<\/p>\n
Lewis was arrested on Friday and booked into the Dallas County jail.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Richardson was already in custody for an arson charge related to the case.<\/p>\n
The backstory:<\/p>\n
The arrests are linked to the death of 68-year-old Leslie McBride on Oct. 19, 2025.<\/p>\n
McBride and her dog died in an RV fire in the 10300 block of Eastwood Drive.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Dallas Fire-Rescue officials said they got a 911 call and arrived to find fire coming from an RV that was parked next to a house.<\/p>\n
The RV was destroyed and the one-story home was damaged.<\/p>\n
Firefighters found McBride\u2019s body inside the RV once they knocked down the flames.<\/p>\n
Two people inside the home were able to escape and were not injured.<\/p>\n
Dig deeper:<\/p>\n
According to an arrest warrant affidavit for Richardson, investigators determined an accelerant was used to start the fire.<\/p>\n
They also obtained video from a security camera that allegedly shows Richardson carrying a container of accelerant, igniting the RV, and then fleeing the scene in a Kia sedan.<\/p>\n
The affidavit states McBride had filed a police report the day before her death because she\u2019d been robbed by a man in a Kia sedan. The suspect had taken the keys to her RV.<\/p>\n
Investigators found more video of the Kia sedan driving through the neighborhood throughout the week and used the license plate number to track down Richardson.<\/p>\n
They determined the car had been rented by Richardson\u2019s mother in Minnesota, where he\u2019s from.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Data from the car\u2019s GPS, along with images from additional security cameras between Dallas and Minnesota all placed Richardson at the crime scene, the affidavit states.<\/p>\n
What we don’t know:<\/p>\n
Police have not yet released details about how Lewis and Grindberg were linked to the crime.<\/p>\n
There\u2019s also no word yet on a motive for the murder.<\/p>\n
