RPD Make Arrest in Case of Woman Set on Fire

Rochester police say the death of a mother of five earlier this month was a homicide.

Fantasia Stone was killed by fire April 11 at an apartment building at 565 Jefferson Avenue.

Police Captain Frank Umbrino says 53-year-old Troy Parker set Stone on fire after an argument.

Umbrino says Parker and Stone were acquaintances.

Parker did not live in the building.

He's charged with murder and arson.

A second arson the following day in the same building is still under investigation.
