Los Angeles police say three people are in custody and a fourth is being sought in connection with a deadly fire that struck an apartment building in 1993.

Authorities announced Monday that they will seek 12 counts of murder in the case, including the deaths of late-term fetuses.

Police Chief Charlie Beck says two men were arrested Feb. 3 and a woman was already in custody in connection with the fire.

Police will ask the district attorney to file homicide charges with special circumstances involving multiple victims, gang affiliations and arson.

The arrests followed a fresh examination of the case that began in 2013.

The police chief says the case has haunted investigators for decades.

Los Angeles Police Chief Charlie Beck will announce details of arrests made in connection with a 1993 apartment building fire that killed 10 people, including seven children.

Officials said Saturday that several arrests were made recently and the people remain jailed. Beck and other police officials have set a Monday news conference to offer additional information.

The three-story building in the Westlake district caught fire on May 3, 1993. The residents, most of them poor immigrants from Central America, tried to escape by jumping from windows or balconies or climbing down bedsheets.

Police suspected the fire was set by gang members who’d been kicked off the property for drug dealing.

Two were later charged with murder but the case was dropped for lack of evidence.
