LAKE WALES -- A premature baby delivered after his mother was kidnapped and set on fire during the robbery of a Polk County insurance office died early Sunday, authorities said.

The 1-pound, 2-ounce baby, delivered by Caesarian section Thursday night, died at an Orlando hospital, Lake Wales Police Chief Herbert Gillis said. The child was born more than three months premature.

The baby’s mother, Juanita “Jane” Luciano, 23, and his aunt, Yvonne Bustamante, 26, were set on fire during a robbery Thursday at the Nationwide Insurance office where they worked, police said. Both remain in extremely critical condition.

A man who came to their rescue was shot in the nose but he’s OK, police said. The man charged in the crimes, Leon Davis Jr., 30, also is believed to be the man who killed two employees of a BP gas station in another Polk County city on Dec. 7, Sheriff Grady Judd said Saturday.

He was linked to the slayings when the bullets taken from the two gas station victims matched bullets fired during Thursday’s attack on the two women.

Davis was in jail without bond on a variety of charges related to the attack on the women. Judd said he will also be charged with the gas station slayings.
