BATON ROUGE (WVLA) - Fire Officials spent part of the night putting out a fire at a suspected murderer's home.

The call came out just after 10:00 Wednesday night to Thomas Fayard's home. He's the man police say shot 31 year old Douglas Arrington Tuesday night.

The fire is out - but tensions in the neighborhood are high.

Witnesses say the blaze was set intentionally - as a way of getting back at Fayard.
