A New York City man has been charged in connection with a deadly apartment fire that killed four people, including a 3-year-old child, last month.

Roman Amatitla is facing charges related to the residential building fire that occurred in New York City. According to prosecutors, Amatitla told authorities he needed to "get out his rage" when questioned about the incident.

District Attorney officials stated that Amatitla had recently lost his job prior to the fire. Prosecutors allege that he wanted "someone" to suffer as a result of his employment termination.

The fire resulted in the deaths of four individuals, including a toddler and three other residents of the building. The victims appear to have been unknown to the defendant prior to the incident.

The charges against Amatitla were filed following an investigation into the cause of the fire. Authorities have not released additional details about the specific circumstances surrounding how the fire was allegedly set or the exact timeline of events.
