CUTLER BAY, FLA. (WSVN) – A Cutler Bay woman has been arrested more than two years after investigators said she intentionally set a fire inside a Miami apartment that left her roommate with fatal burns. <\/p>\n
According to an arrest affidavit, Miami-Dade Sheriff\u2019s Office deputies and Miami-Dade Fire Rescue responded to an apartment in the 5100 block of Northwest 29th Avenue on Feb. 14, 2024, after receiving reports of two people suffering burns. <\/p>\n
Responding crews found the victim and her roommate, identified as 62-year-old Shannon Felice Stork, outside the apartment with severe burns and transported both to Jackson Ryder Trauma Center.<\/p>\n
Investigators said the victim suffered third-degree burns, was later intubated and died from her injuries on March 18, 2024.<\/p>\n
According to the affidavit, Stork initially told investigators she had been cleaning shoes with alcohol and accidentally ignited the fire while lighting a cigarette. <\/p>\n
Detectives said she later gave a different version of events, and evidence collected inside the apartment contradicted her statements.<\/p>\n
Investigators said the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives conducted testing to recreate the scenario described by Stork but determined her account was not possible. <\/p>\n
Stork was arrested Wednesday at the Miami-Dade Sheriff\u2019s Office Homicide Bureau.<\/p>\n
The judge also found probable cause in a separate crack cocaine case and set a $2,500 bond in that case, though Stork remains held without bond on the murder and arson charges pending a detention hearing.<\/p>\n
