A woman who was seriously burned in a northeast Albuquerque apartment fire last month has died, authorities said Thursday.
Albuquerque police said 29-year-old Ashleigh Keeto died from her injuries Monday at a burn center in Lubbock, Texas.
Police spokeswoman Rebecca Atkins told the Albuquerque Journal that Keeto’s death is being investigated as a homicide based on information from arson investigators.
Keeto and a man were pulled from the fire and both were hospitalized in critical condition with burns and smoke inhalation.
A medical update in the male victim wasn’t immediately available Thursday.
