NEW YORK (1010 WINS/WCBS 880) -- Police released footage of a woman of interest they’re searching for in a suspected arson that left one person dead and two injured at a Bronx home last weekend.
Video shows that the woman had something in her hand when she walked into the two-story house at 1211 Evergreen Ave. in Soundview just before 2 p.m. Sunday. She left the home emptyhanded.
The FDNY deemed the fire suspicious, and the fire marshal found it was fueled by an accelerant, officials said.
Flames ripped through the home, sending a plume of smoke over the area in the middle of the afternoon.
Three people suffered smoke inhalation and burns, with two of them making it out on their own, officials said.
The third person was found unconscious on the second floor and died at the scene. They have not been identified.
The building owner had numerous violations from the Department of Buildings, including for illegal occupancy and for failing to obey vacate orders, according to records.
Anyone with information is asked to call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-577-TIPS.
