318 South Ave (Charlie-2)
Building 15 in the sprawling Marina Village public housing complex was the scene of this late evening job. A-shift companies found a typical 2-story MOG unit with fire on the 1st floor.
According to the BHA website, "Ongoing comprehensive renovations are giving one of the oldest public housing complexes in Connecticut an extensive facelift. These improvements have helped spark new community spirit with the families who inhabit Marina’s 405 units."
Apparently the indigenous populants were sparking more than community spirit this night as the fire was labled incendiary. Local press reports drew no conclusions if the set fire was related somehow to the fatal police shooting of Raylyn "Ray Ray" George seven hours earlier.
On the same day police fatally shot a man outside the Marina Village public housing complex, an apparent arson occurred at an apartment there late Thursday. (Connecticut Post)
In the Thursday afternoon incident at Marina Village, police said a narcotics and vice officer shot the 24-year-old George to death after George pointed a handgun at the officer in a rear yard on Park Terrace. (Connecticut Post)
