A fire broke out on the morning of June 26, 2025, at an apartment building in Chicago's Austin neighborhood, resulting in four deaths and multiple injuries. Initially reported as an extra-alarm fire, the victims included a 5-year-old boy, a pregnant 32-year-old woman, a 76-year-old man, and a fourth individual whose remains were later found. The Chicago Fire Department confirmed the fatalities and injuries, and an arson investigation was launched. Authorities determined the fire was deliberately set by a man who threw two Molotov cocktails during a domestic dispute. On July 11, 2025, a 23-year-old man from Humboldt Park was arrested and charged with murder and arson in connection with the fire. The investigation is ongoing as police work to piece together the events that led to the deadly blaze.
