Suspect in Massive Los Angeles Arson Fire Seen in Video
A suspect who sparked a massive arson fire last year that gutted a multi-story apartment complex under construction in Los Angeles was captured on surveillance tape reviewed by authorities, the Los Angeles Times reported on Monday.
The video showed the suspect parking a car on the 110 Freeway before walking into the building with “cans of fuel,” the paper said, based on a recording of a community meeting last week addressed by Los Angeles Fire Department Battalion Chief Steve Ruda.
The suspect “torched that building up from the freeway side and then escaped,” Ruda told the roughly two dozen people at Echo Park’s neighborhood council meeting, the Times reported.
