Something is afoot in Uvalde. On Sept. 14, Regina Santos-Avile was found engulfed in flames outside her home and died of her injuries hours later. Santos-Avile was the Director of Republican Congressman Tony Gonzales’ Uvalde Regional Office, and tributes flooded in, with colleagues describing her as “dedicated and respected” and noting her longtime community outreach efforts.
Cops were quick to confirm that there was “no indication of foul play,” and a fire department report shed some light on the mystery by confirming that their team had been informed by attending cops that she’d “doused herself in gasoline and was ignited into flames.”
