Sameena Siddiqui said she knew a teen girl who lived in the home.

“We are pretty devastated,” she said. “We are in shock. Didn’t see this coming. We talked yesterday. We’re all super close.”

“At school, if one of us got sad or something, she would always be there and she would tell how she got through — because of the relationship with her family, that took a toll on her. So she would always talk to us about how she coped with stuff.”

Police confirmed the blaze was intentionally set and domestic-related, adding that the homicide and arson units are now investigating.

Officers said they aren’t looking for suspects.
