JACKSON, Miss. — Authorities in Mississippi say a mother and her four young children died Saturday as a result of an early-morning fire at their Jackson apartment.
Family members identified the victims as 28-year-old Dominique Henderson; her daughter Akyerria, 7; and her three sons Bryceston, 4, Cylor, 3, and Ethan, 2.
Chief fire investigator Greg Travis said the fire broke out on the second story of an apartment building shortly before 1 a.m. Saturday. Investigators think the fire might have started in the kitchen, but the cause is still under investigation.
The apartment complex, occupied by eight families, was damaged heavily by the fire, Travis said.
