HOLLYWOOD, Fla. – The boyfriend of a woman whose charred remains were found inside a car that was on fire is under arrest, charged with first-degree arson by Hollywood Police.
It’s the same department that’s been investigating the death of Jasmine Guillaime, 25, who was the person identified to have been in the car when it was found on fire.
Keith Martin Perkins, 26, was arrested Friday, but has not been charged in Guillaime’s death, only two counts of first-degree arson, a crime where detectives are divulging little information.

Authorities later confirmed that a dead body was found inside the vehicle.
Local 10 News’ Joseph Ojo spoke to a witness who said she heard a loud boom, and moments later she came to find the vehicle fully engulfed in flames.
That witness also said she saw a woman running away from the car.
This all happened on the 2300 block of St. Thomas Street, in an alley behind Speedy Distributors Machine and Tool Rental.
Upon arrival, Local 10′s crews found that Hollywood police had a perimeter set around the block.
