SUNLAND PARK, N.M. (AP) - Sunland Park police have arrested a 30-year-old woman on multiple charges stemming from a mobile home fire in which an 8-year-old girl was killed.
Jocelyn Ontiveros was booked into the Dona Ana County jail Friday night on suspicion of multiple charges, including arson with intent to commit a violent felony and child abuse resulting in death.
Ontiveros’ arrest stems from the Dec. 13 fire in which Marisa Munoz was killed and two other children were hospitalized with burns.
