From Associated Press
BALTIMORE —
A man critically burned in an arson fire died Wednesday, a week after his wife and five children were killed in the blaze.
Police say the fire was set in retaliation for the family’s efforts to rid the neighborhood of drug dealing. A suspect has been arrested.
Carnell Dawson Sr., 43, was burned over 80% of his body in the fire that gutted the family’s row house in East Baltimore.
Funeral services were held today for Angela Dawson, 36, and the five children, aged 9 to 14.
