Investigators believe a woman with a vendetta against her estranged husband set a house on fire while his new girlfriend's children were still inside.
According to a warrant from the Baton Rouge Fire Department, things escalated after Shannon Blackson, 40, got into a wreck with her husband and the victim, his current girlfriend, on April 2.
That same night, witnesses reported seeing a suspicious vehicle outside the victim's home on Howell Drive. That home was then set ablaze around 2 a.m. April 3, according to investigators with the fire department.
An eyewitness reported seeing something resembling a Molotov cocktail being thrown into the house. The victim's two children, ages 12 and 3, were inside the house at the time but made it out unharmed.
Law enforcement officials later spoke with the victim and Blackson's estranged husband, who claimed that Blackson had been terrorizing them. They showed investigators threatening text messages and social media posts Blackson made the day of the fire saying, "f*** them kids" and "Dnt play wit me Play wit yo kids (laugh emoji) I'm gon win everytime."
