Fatal Chula Vista 7-Eleven fire death of Amanda Buchanan – Obituary
Amanda Buchanan, a 44-year-old employee at a Chula Vista 7-Eleven, succumbed to severe burn injuries sustained in a fire at the store last weekend.
Authorities have confirmed Buchanan passed away at the hospital on Thursday afternoon.
The incident occurred on Saturday morning at 899 Broadway, where police initially found Buchanan outside the building with critical burns.
At that time, her condition was reported as stable. Officers later entered the burning store after hearing another voice inside and discovered Buchanan, who was unable to move due to her injuries.
The investigation revealed that the fire was deliberately set. A man, who had entered the store prior to the blaze, used a flammable liquid, likely gasoline, to ignite the fire before fleeing the scene.
The suspect, identified as 47-year-old Jose Carlos Villanueva, was located about 100 miles north of Chula Vista in Redland, California. He was arrested at a gas station on Saturday afternoon.
Villanueva has been charged with premeditated attempted murder, torture, mayhem, arson, and assault with intent to cause great bodily harm, as well as being a felon in possession of a firearm.
He is being held without bail, with charges likely to be updated due to Buchanan’s death.
Villanueva and Buchanan had previously been in a relationship. Anyone with information on the case is urged to contact San Diego County Crime Stoppers at 888-580-8477 or submit tips online or via the P3tips mobile app.
