March 31, 2007, 2:10 AM
Police and fire personnel responded to call about a car on fire in the 6400 block of 27th St. The 1998 white Dodge had smoke damage and signs of accelerant. A witness said she saw a white Pontiac with two guys, one in a black hoody and one in a beige hoody, walk to the Dodge; she saw the man in the beige hoody light a match and start the fire. She said "Get away from the car – what are you doing?" When the firestarter looked up, she immediately recognized the man as the ex-boyfriend of the Dodge owner. The suspect has an active Cook County warrant and is being sought.
