A homeless man stole a stove, causing a gas explosion in a Bronx building that killed one and injured 15.
A 55-year-old homeless man, Samuel Calderon, has been arrested and charged in connection with a gas explosion and fire at a Bronx high-rise on January 24, 2026, that killed one person and injured 15 others.
Police say Calderon stole a stove from an apartment, causing a gas leak that led to the blast and subsequent fires on the 15th and 16th floors.
The explosion occurred about 15 minutes after emergency responders arrived to investigate a gas odor.
The building, formerly managed by NYCHA, remains evacuated and structurally damaged.
Calderon faces multiple charges, including murder and manslaughter.
Over 100 households were displaced, and aid was provided by the American Red Cross.
