Mendez allegedly ignited materials inside the commercial structure in the 6600 block of Polk Street. The ignition caused the flames to quickly spread and engulf the interior walls of the warehouse.

Houston firefighters detained a procession for Garcia when his body was transported from the medical examiner’s office to Forest Park Lawndale Funeral Home on Sunday.

This is a developing story.
