ST. LOUIS (AP) — A man who was critically injured in a fire at a St. Louis-area home has died, and authorities have found no connection to the fire and a homicide that happened at the same home a day earlier.
St. Louis County police on Tuesday said 26-year-old Travion Adams was the man critically injured in the fire that broke out Thursday. Police spokesman Benjamin Granda said Adams died Saturday. Police have determined the fire was arson.
The fire happened one day after 20-year-old Johanna Kimple was shot to death at the same house. Nineteen-year-old Javion Smith is charged with second-degree murder and armed criminal action.
Police say Kimple called her brother after a fight with her boyfriend. Her brother showed up with Smith. Police say Smith shot at Kimple’s boyfriend but hit Kimple instead. He is jailed on $500,000 bond.
