Almost five years after a deliberate fire was set in a residential complex, an arrest has been made killed five people and another 200 displaced in San Marcos, Texas, the city announced Wednesday.
The July 20, 2018 fire damaged the Iconic Village and Vintage Pads apartments in San Marcos, a city of nearly 70,000 residents southwest of Austin. The city’s fire chief said days after the fire that four bodies had been found in a single apartment building, which had had no sprinklers since it was built in 1970 and complied with regulations when built.
Later that year, the federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives said the fire was set intentionally and the five dead were ruled homicide.
