EL CAJON, Calif.—An unidentified person died in an El Cajon house fire sparked on May 6 by someone who threw Molotov cocktail-type incendiary devices at deputies as they were trying to evict a resident.
The events that led to the deadly blaze began shortly before noon, when court services personnel with the San Diego County Sheriff’s Department tried to serve an eviction notice on a man in his 60s who lived with his girlfriend in the house in the 1200 block of Redwood Avenue, according to the El Cajon Police Department (ECPD).
