A man who lit himself on fire and burned two U.S. Marshals has died at a D.C. jail infirmary, authorities said.

Moustapha El Bechir, 28, was a fugitive in a rape case in December when marshals deputies knocked on the door to his home in Northweast Washington. El Bechir doused himself with a flammable liquid, and as deputies attempted to take him into custody, he lit a fire, causing an explosion that caught a female deputy on fire, authorities said. Her partner helped put out the flames with his bare hands, burning himself, officials said.
