Deputies are searching for a woman in an apparent arson incident which started over a money dispute with her ex-boyfriend.

According to deputies, Oscar Mitchell and Kamekia Russell, both 36, met at a convenience store near his mother's apartment on the 4200 block of 62nd Ave. N.



Deputies say Mitchell reportedly borrowed some money from Russell some time ago, and Russell demanded the money be repaid. When Mitchell left the convenience store, Russell reportedly followed him back to the apartment, deputies say.



Deputies said the suspect then followed Mitchell to the second floor apartment and followed him inside where she allegedly sprayed him with lighter fluid. He ran out of the apartment after being sprayed.

Deputies said she reportedly remained, and allegedly ignited a curtain on fire. A small sofa cushion also caught fire.

Mitchell told deputies he saw Russell leave the apartment and run back inside and extinguished the small fire.
