According to a statement given to the cops, Senaida reportedly broke into the house on the 16000 block of Shephard Road, Atascosa. The owner also reported that Soto had taken several items from the house before she set it ablaze.
On November 20, 2022, authorities received an emergency call to report arson at 1:45 am local time.
