California Police are looking for the suspects who set a 40-year-old man on fire on the side of a highway following a dispute.

Jerry Mungaray was found in flames near Sargent Crossing and Highway 101 in the early hours of Friday. Santa Clara Sheriff’s Office responded to the scene at around 2:50 a.m. and pronounced the man dead after extinguishing the fire.

The victim’s sister, Jasmine Richards, described him as a good brother and uncle to her two sons who used to call him “Cool Beaj.” She added that witnesses told her Mungaray was arguing with two car drivers on Thursday night just hours before he was found dead.

“We are asking for help to get these sick people off the street,” she said.
