(Pittsburgh, PA) Forty-eight-year-old Keila Fiqueroa is now in custody and is facing charges because she was accused of setting a Pittsburgh home on fire yesterday, which was also where she was being evicted from on that same day. According to Pittsburgh Public Safety officials, police officers were called to the 5300 block of Mossfield Street in Garfield for a reported break-in at 11:40 a.m. yesterday. Fiqueroa was in the process of being evicted at that time. Firefighters were called back to the same house at 12:40 p.m. after somebody called 911 and reported seeing smoke, which was coming from a second-story window. Investigators confirm that Fiqueroa was the one who intentionally set the fire even though she fled the scene when crews were battling the fire and were able to put it out. There were no reported injuries. Fiqueroa was taken into custody after she was found at the intersection of East Liberty Boulevard and North Highland Avenue and she faces charges of felony counts of aggravated arson, causing or risking catastrophe, arson endangering property, arson-reckless burning or exploding, criminal mischief and a summary offense for dangerous burning.
