LAS VEGAS (AP) — The owner of a downtown Las Vegas apartment building and an associate are being charged with involuntary manslaughter and criminal neglect for a fire last December that killed six people.
The Alpine Apartments blaze was the deadliest residential fire in city history.
The Clark County district attorney said Thursday that Adolfo Orozco-Garcia and Malinda Mier each face 21 felony charges that, combined, could put them in prison for nearly 50 years.
Neither has been arrested. Orozco-Garcia's lawyer says he'll plead not guilty. It's not clear if Mier has an attorney.
