## Resource

A fifty-seven-year-old homeless man, Jose Arredondo, faces murder and arson charges after allegedly setting fire to a mattress where another homeless man, Jose Mota, was sleeping—killing him. Witnesses saw the flames and rescued Mota, but he died two days later. The judge denied bail, and Arredondo’s preliminary hearing is scheduled for July 15. The case underscores the deadly risks faced by those living on the streets.
