Video shows a driver pulling over her car and setting a homeless woman on fire before allegedly kicking the burned victim and fleeing in her vehicle.

Disturbing surveillance footage shows the suspect — identified as 34-year-old Jacqueline Popaibarra — turning her car down a quiet street in South Sacramento April 26 before stopping next to a homeless encampment. 

Popaibarra got out of her vehicle and began to argue with the 49-year-old homeless victim, who had just set up to sleep for the night, according to the Sacramento County Sheriff’s Office.
