2 Plead Guilty in Fire That Killed 5-Year-Old Boy

Two people pleaded guilty in the case of a Portland Street fire that took the life of a 5-year-old boy in July of last year.

Tiakayla Hendrix and Roy Chambers, a new suspect who hadn't been revealed until now, both pleaded guilty to arson in the case.

Prosecutors say Tiakayla's sister, Taquida, actually set the fire, and the two who pleaded guilty were just accomplices.

Malaki Stovall died in the fire, while his babysitter and two firefighters were injured.

Taquida's trial starts next Thursday.

She is charged with murder and arson.
