The man accused of causing a deadly explosion and fire in San Francisco's Sunset District earlier this year that rocked an entire city block has been arrested again and is now charged with murder.
It's quite a turn in the case. At first, the explosion looked like a crime of negligence, but now it appears it could be more sinister than that.
A judge earlier ruled Price did not act with malice or intent to harm others and he was released from custody and placed under house arrest."We're a bit concerned that they let Darron Price out on bail today. We do understand that he did not do anything deliberately, but we don't really know what his state of mind is now," said neighbor David Garth.
Four months later, the public is left wondering what led prosecutors to decide that the more serious charge of murder might fit the crime. Next week, the DA's office will move to consolidate the murder charge with the other nine felony charges Price is facing including child endangerment, reckless burning, and elder abuse.
