Man charged with murder, arson in fire that killed 4 people, including pregnant woman and her son, on Chicago’s West Side

A man has been charged with arson and murder in connection with a fire that killed four people – including a pregnant woman, her sister, and her son – last month in the Austin neighborhood on the West Side of Chicago.

Cook County prosecutors said 23-year-old Lontray Clark set the fire after learning his ex-girlfriend was possibly dating his friend.

Clark was arrested Wednesday in Springfield, after he was identified as the man who intentionally set fire to a three-story apartment building in the 5200 block of West North Avenue on June 26, according to Chicago police. He has been charged with eight counts of murder, four counts of aggravated arson, two counts of attempted murder, and one count of residential arson.
