Indira Ortega, the store owner, stated to NBC6 that she has suspicions about the identities of the arsonists, but the matter is currently under investigation. She mentioned that they have a potential lead regarding the individual responsible for the destruction of her business, which resulted in approximately $45,000 in damages.
Despite the devastating setback, Ortega remains determined not to abandon her plans of reopening the business. When she arrived on the scene, firefighters had already extinguished the flames that had rapidly spread throughout the establishment while the suspects fled the scene on a scooter.
