Teen Torches Home To Prove Love, Investigators Say

SAN ANTONIO -- In an effort to prove his love for the 15-year-old mother of his child, a 15-year-old boy allegedly used a Molotov cocktail shortly before noon to torch a neighbor's home on the city's northwest side, investigators said.
Heather Tirado said she was still in shock over the loss of her home and her pets, who perished in the fire. Bexar County sheriff's investigators said the 15-year-old destroyed his neighbor's home on the 10600 block of South Shaenridge to prove he wasn't having a relationship with Tirado's 13-year-old daughter, a claim the boy's girlfriend allegedly made.
"She didn't believe him, and to profess his love for her, he broke into my home and did what he did," Tirado said. "It makes me sick to my stomach."
Tirado's daughter told investigators she never spoke with the 15-year-old, said Deputy Ino Badillo.
After starting the fire, the teenager went to his home next door and tried to kill himself, Badillo said.
"The 15-year-old boy knew we were coming looking for him, and he decides to drink a mixture of vodka, Clorox, contact cleaning fluid and rat poison," he said.
The teenager is recovering from the suicide attempt at a local hospital. He has been arrested and ordered to undergo a psychological evaluation, Badillo said. The boy's girlfriend was with him when he set the fire, but she isn't expected to face any charges since she reportedly tried to stop him.
Tirado said she is considering moving back to her home state of New York since she has no family in San Antonio. She had moved into her home in June, she said.
