ATLANTA - Gwinnett County fire authorities say three children who were injured in a Lilburn house fire have died. Now, they are looking for a suspect.<\/p>\n
All three children died at Grady Hospital, one Thursday and two Friday, say Gwinnett Fire authorities.<\/p>\n
The blaze broke out Thursday on the first floor of the Lilburn home. The children were trapped on the second level and were brought out a passerby who heard a woman screaming for her children. They were then transported to Grady Hospital.<\/p>\n
The fire originated in a hallway between the kitchen and stairwell of the home. Chemicals used in the manufacturing of meth ignited, causing the fire, say Gwinnett fire officials.<\/p>\n
Gwinnett police say they have identified a suspect -- Ivan Gonzales -- a Hispanic male about 5 feet, 7 inches and 190 pounds. He has a tattoo of Jesus on his leg. He is also known by an alias, John McGowan Torres.<\/p>\n
Police say Gonzales was last seen possibly in a four door, gray or silver late model Honda Civic or Accord. When units initially arrived on the scene, they say Gonzales was trying to put out the fire with a garden hose. He appeared to be suffering from burns. He claimed the children were his and was not challenged when he left to follow the ambulance to the hospital.<\/p>\n
Gonzales was initially picked up but never charged in connection with the stabbing deaths of two children near Lawrenceville last week, say police.<\/p>\n
Gonzales faces carges of arson and murder, say police. The mother of the children -- Neibi Brito -- has been charged with Trafficking in Methamphetimine.<\/p>\n
The case is being investigated by both Gwinnett Fire and Gwinnett Police.<\/p>\n
