He was a Yonkers resident as well

 

They've arrested a suspect.  There's justice possible, but it will NEVER heal the loss.

I'm surprised it wasn't a meth lab when the reports were coming in.  I'm figuring they used BBQ style propane cylinders to run the plant warmers.

 

I hope, in the end, we all learn from this tragedy.

RIP
