Sisters Indicted in Fatal Portland Ave. Fire

Two sisters have been indicted for allegedly setting the fire that killed a 5-year-old boy.

Tiakalya and Taquida Hendrix, who are 21 and 31, respectively, allegedly intentionally set the fire at a Portland Avenue apartment house July 29th.

They're now charged with 2nd-degree murder, arson, and assault.

Malaki Stovall and his babysitter were inside at the time.

He died at the hospital a few days later.

The babysitter and two firefighters were also sent to the hospital, but have since recovered.
