According to CBS Miami, the pair were fighting over cigarettes when Grullon allegedly poured gasoline on Rivera and lit her on fire. Rivera’s children, a 1-year-old and a 4-year-old from a previous relationship, witnessed the entire attack, said police.
Grullon allegedly destroyed her cellphone so she couldn’t call emergency services and fled the scene in a pickup truck.
Rivera reportedly ran into the shower to put out the flames. She suffered second-degree burns to her upper torso area, but a family member told NBC Miami that she and her baby were “expected to be okay.”
Grullon, who was recently released from state prison where he’d served 12 years on charges of carjacking and robbery, has a long history of violent crimes. He was on probation when he attacked his ex, investigators said.
“He’s been lucky for about a day and a half, but his luck is going to run out,” Hialeah Police spokesperson Carl Zogby told WPLG-TV. “We’re lighting a fire on him now.”

Anyone who has information about this crime is encouraged to call the Hialeah Police Department at (305) 687-2525. Grullon is believed to be driving a 2007 black Ford pickup truck with the license plate number HVD-E62, the Miami Herald reported.

The first electric vehicle I ever drove was a Tesla Roadster in 2011. It was with great anticipation that I slid behind the wheel of the 2025 Acura ZDX Type S. Sure, it's a midsize SUV, but it wears the Type S moniker, a name reserved only for the most fun-to-drive in the Acura stable. On launch, the ZDX will be available in A-Spec and Type S trims -- both of which come equipped with a 102 kWh battery.
