A 12-year-old child who has been in critical condition since a Saturday morning fire at a Grand Rapids home died Monday evening at a nearby hospital.

Officials arrested the woman, identified as Roconda Singleton, 46, on multiple charges in connection with the fire. A 12-year-old child was in critical condition at a hospital following the fire but two other children, ages 10 and 7, were treated and released over the weekend, according to authorities.

Seninta Parks, 29, pleaded no contest Monday, Jan. 27 to second-degree murder, felon in possession of a firearm and felony firearm. Parks was accused of killing 2-year-old Khalise Brewer three years ago on Feb.
