3 Fort Worth apartment fires linked to suspect

A 35-year-old homeless man has been arrested in connection with three fires at East Fort Worth apartment complexes last week, police said.

The suspect, Adam Erwing, is accused of intentionally setting fire to:

  • Nov. 15 at 8808 Hornaday Circle South
  • Nov. 16 at 8801 Hornaday Circle North
  • Nov. 18 at 1400 Vanderbilt West

After the fires were extinguished, fire investigators determined that all three fires were intentionally set.

Surveillance footage and witness statements led police to identify Erwing as the suspect.

Erwing was arrested Monday night at a homeless encampment off Eastchase Parkway near the damaged complexes.

He was booked into the Tarrant County Jail on three counts of criminal mischief.

Authorities have not disclosed the cause of the fires.
