The man broke the window of the apartment and threw material soaked in gasoline that he had lit on fire into it, authorities said.
an apartment fire last year that left a 22-year-old man dead was sentenced Monday to 22 years in state prison, authorities said.
First responders were dispatched to a fire at the Tara Hall Apartment Complex in Pemberton Borough during the early morning hours of April 20, 2022, according to a statement from the Burlington County Prosecutor’s Office. Detectives discovered that Newlin Evans IV, 23, of Burlington Township, cut the screen of a ground floor apartment, broke the window and threw material soaked in gasoline that he had lit on fire into the unit, the office said. The blaze killed 22-year-old Camryn Powell, who lived in the apartment.
Evans, who was burned during the incident, fled the scene and was later taken to Jefferson Hospital in Philadelphia for treatment, but was arrested upon being discharged in May 2022, investigators said. He has been held in the Burlington County Jail since that time. Evans pleaded guilty in January to aggravated manslaughter in exchange for his sentence and must serve 85% of his sentence before he is eligible for parole, the office said.
