A metro man accused of setting his girlfriend on fire is now facing a first-degree murder charge.
Vincent Green, 28, is accused of dumping kerosene on his girlfriend, Sherrie Mead, 46, and then lighting a match. Mead, who sustained second and three degree burns all over her body, died on Sept. 26 while in surgery at Integris Baptist Hospital.
Green is being held without bond in the Oklahoma County Jail. He's expected to make his first court appearance on Thursday.
"My mom didn't want to be with him, and he couldn't handle it," said Ben Mead, Sherrie's oldest son. "I'm real mad, but revenge is no way to get back. Just let him deal with his own karma."
Ben says he considered Green a "good friend," and a man who treated his mother with "respect."
Investigators said Mead told green she was "going to work tomorrow (Sept. 4) and wasn't coming home." Mead told investigators that this made Vincent very angry and that he threatened to kill her and burn down their house.
Mead fell asleep on Sept. 3 and was awakened by the smell of kerosene, according to investigators. When she awakened, she and her home were burning, according to investigators.
A neighbor called police, and Mead was taken to a nearby hospital, where she was kept in intensive care for almost a month before she died.
The family said Mead will be cremated. Her funeral service will be held in Michigan.
