BREAKING NEWS: 3:13 PM–House Fire Update–Victim Identified

 

At approximately 6 a.m. Camden Volunteer Fire Department was called to 117 Ballard Street for a house fire. Two subjects perished.

Only one of the deceased has been confirmed at this time. Rowshandelyn Shoemaker, 42, lost her life in the fire. One other person, assumed to have been a friend, died as well.

 

Arson is currently the determined cause of the fire. The Alabama State Fire Marshal Incendiary Incident Response Team was on the scene this afternoon conducting an investigation. Being that this is still an ongoing investigation, the team has decided not to comment.

 

Very little recorded background information is available for Shoemaker.

Shoemaker’s latest registration as a legal resident at the home which burned down dates back to June 4th 2015.

 

This case is still ongoing

We will update when more details are confirmed.
