MEMPHIS, Tenn. A body was discovered in Orange Mound following a fire early Tuesday morning and authorities are investigating the case as a homicide.
Officials were called to Dallas Street after a home went up in flames around 5:30 a.m. That’s when firefighters found the man dead in a bedroom.
Fire officials said the blaze was intentionally set in multiple locations. The fire department did not name the man found inside.
But family said the victim was Willie Cowans. His niece Angela Anderson had a message for the person responsible.
“Please turn yourself in because my uncle did not deserve this,” she said. “He would’ve gave ya’ll whatever ya’ll wanted, so just turn yourself in.”
