Un hombre de 29 años de Florida ha sido detenido como sospechoso de provocar un incendio en relación con el mortífero incendio de Palisades que arrasó parte de Los Ángeles a principios de año, según informaron las autoridades el miércoles.

Los Angeles

Authorities in Los Angeles have announced the arrest of 29-year-old Jonathan Rindernecht in connection with the Palisades Fire, one of the largest and most deadly fires in the city's history. The fire, which began in January, resulted in the deaths of twelve people and widespread destruction of homes.

Investigators allege that Rindernecht, after working as an Uber driver, was seen acting agitated before parking near Pacific Palisades, attempting to contact a former friend, and then walking up a trail where he took videos and listened to music videos featuring fire. Environmental sensors detected the fire shortly after midnight, and Rindernecht reportedly attempted to call 911 before fleeing and later returning to observe the scene. Officials believe embers from the initial fire, fanned by high winds, led to the larger Pacific Palisades fire.

Detenido un hombre como presunto autor del incendio de Palisades en California

Bueno, en la última hora, las autoridades de Los Ángeles anunciaron un arresto en relación con los mortales incendios de Palisade a principios de este año. Destruyeron tantas propiedades, causaron un infierno para la gente de L.A. Ese incendio fue parte de una serie de incendios que se desataron en Enero, y es considerado uno de los mayores incendios en la historia de L.A. Doce personas murieron, muchas casas arrasadas. Hablemos de los últimos acontecimientos. Chanel Call, corresponsal de CBS News. Vale, Chanel, ¿qué estás averiguando sobre lo que pasó allí y a quién están acusando de esto? Sí, mucha información nueva nos ha llegado hoy, Reid. Quiero decir, este es uno de los incendios más catastróficos de la historia americana. Y hoy, las autoridades dicen, Reid, que han arrestado a la persona que creen responsable. Esa persona ha sido identificada como Jonathan Rindernecht de 29 años. Escucha cómo los oficiales creen que comenzó el fuego. Después de trabajar en el turno de noche como conductor de Uber, dos de sus pasajeros dijeron a la policía que esa noche parecía agitado y enfadado. Después de dejar a un pasajero en Pacific Palisades, Rindernecht aparcó su coche e intentó sin éxito contactar con un antiguo amigo. Salió del coche y caminó por un sendero cercano, grabó vídeos con el iPhone en la cima de una colina cercana, y escucharon una canción de rap cuyo videoclip incluía objetos incendiados. El acusado había escuchado esta canción y visto su vídeo musical repetidamente en los días previos al incendio de Lockman. Doce minutos después del inicio del nuevo año, las plataformas de detección ambiental indicaron que se había iniciado un incendio. El acusado tardó varios intentos en ponerse en contacto con el 911 para informar del incendio. Huyó del lugar en su coche, pero dio la vuelta tras pasar junto a los coches de bomberos que iban en dirección contraria para apagar el incendio. Mientras el fuego Lockman ardía, el acusado caminó por el mismo sendero de antes esa noche para observar el fuego y los bomberos, usando su iPhone para tomar videos cortos de la escena. Los investigadores de Enright también creen que ese fuego inicial del que hablábamos allí fue sofocado en su mayor parte por los bomberos, pero luego las brasas continuaron ardiendo y quemando bajo tierra. Cuando se levantaron fuertes vientos, el fuego se extendió causando lo que ahora conocemos como el incendio de Pacific Palisades.
