Detectives are still trying to figure out who killed a transient man by setting him on fire outside a Parkland business in March.

Daniel Dunn, 46, died from his injuries May 25.

Tacoma-Pierce County Crime Stoppers recently posted a photo of Dunn.

Anyone with information about a motive for the attack, or anyone who might have seen Dunn with a suspicious person before the fire, is asked to call 1-800-222-TIPS (8477).

Tips are anonymous and can lead to a reward.

Pierce County sheriff’s investigators determined someone, or multiple people, intentionally set Dunn on fire March 12 outside a business in the 15000 block of Pacific Avenue South.

Bystanders ran to put out the fire when they saw him.

He lived in homeless encampments in the Spanaway area, according to Crime Stoppers.
