GRAND RAPIDS, MI – A woman has been charged with arson and child abuse for a house fire she allegedly set that killed one of her three daughters. Roconda Singleton, 46, appeared for a virtual arraignment Tuesday, Jan. 28, and was charged with first-degree arson and three counts of second-degree child abuse.

The mother told Grand Rapids officials she removed all the smoke alarms before setting the house on fire while her three daughters were asleep.

Officials arrested the woman, identified as Roconda Singleton, 46, on multiple charges in connection with the fire. A 12-year-old child was in critical condition at a hospital following the fire but two other children, ages 10 and 7, were treated and released over the weekend, according to authorities.

Roconda Singleton told police that her intentions were "to die with her three daughters so they could be free."

Shamiya Stewart has passed away from injuries sustained during the fire that police are saying they believe her mother set intentionally.
