Texas police say a bitter ex-boyfriend stabbed the mother of his child to death last year and left their one-year-old son to be burned alive with her body.

Thomas Olivas, 29, was arrested on Monday evening at a sports bar by U.S. Marshalls.

The bodies of Mechelle Gandy and her one-year-old son Asher were found in their smoldering apartment in Arlington on March 20, 2011.

In March of 2011, her body was pulled out of her burning apartment on President's Corner Drive where she lived alone with her son.

At the time, a neighbor said that he head tires squealing before the fire broke out.

Her body was found to have multiple stab wounds while Asher died of burns.
