Los Angeles police said a nightclub dancer was set on fire Thursday and suffers with burns across 60 percent of her body.
The crime occurred at about 1:30 a.m. outside the Babes & Beer nightclub said Los Angeles police Deputy Chief Michel Moore.
According to officials, the 27-year-old woman was called outside the nightclub and then doused with some kind of flammable liquid and set on fire. She then went back inside the bar to get help.
The victim, who is in critical condition, has two young children, Moore said. Her name was not released.
Detectives released the names and photos of a wanted man and woman, identified as Nathaniel Petrillo, 22, and 27-year-old Rianne Theriault-Odom.
What prompted the attack was not immediately disclosed. The woman involved in the attack is reported to have worked at the bar.
Moore said witness statements helped to identify the suspects. Anyone knowing their whereabouts was urged to call police.
