JACKSBORO, TX — The Jacksboro Police Department has filed a manslaughter charge against a 23-year-old man in connection with the burning death of 17-year-old Madison Lewis.
According to authorities, the incident occurred on December 16 during a gathering where Sebastian Lindsey allegedly threw gasoline into a fire, resulting in Lewis' hair and clothing catching fire.
