PHOENIX — An Arizona man was sentenced to life in prison on Wednesday for starting a fatal house fire in 2019.
Vincent Tsosie, 28, of Tuba City, was previously convicted of arson, first-degree felony murder and second-degree murder, according to a press release from the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Arizona. He received concurrent life sentences.
Tsosie attempted to assault a resident in November 2019 before setting the house on fire, the release said.
