San Joaquin District Attorney Ron Freitas' office announced Friday that a jury convicted 68-year-old Louie Martinez of attempted murder and arson. Martinez was convicted in connection with a Feb. 2025 incident in downtown Lodi, where prosecutors said he set fire to the bedding of a woman sleeping outdoors near an intersection.
Prosecutors said the victim was asleep on the ground when Martinez approached and used a flammable object to ignite the woman's bedding. The flames rapidly spread to her hand and surrounded her.
Surveillance footage reviewed by police showed the man holding a flammable item, igniting the fire and kicking the item towards the victim.
According to prosecutors, Martinez was in a wheelchair at the time and admitted to knowing someone was present at the location where he started the fire.
Jail records show Martinez remains in custody at the San Joaquin County Jail without bail. He is scheduled to be sentenced at a hearing on June 22.
