PROVIDENCE The state Department of Children, Youth, and Families said Friday that neglect contributed to the deaths of two young sisters from a house fire just before Christmas.
Allison Sandoval, 7, and 2-year-old Ashley were home with other extended family at 10 Lucy St. when a fire broke out mid-afternoon on Dec. 22. The other relatives escaped, then realized the girls were still inside.
Mangum is accused of buying guns from dealers in Providence, Woonsocket, Warwick, Cranston and North Kingstown, according to Neronha.
These four Providence men are alleged to have conspired with Mangun or solicited him to buy handguns: Brady Robinson, 27; Yovaniell Sostre, 25; Anthony Jaiman, 28; and Wascar Rivas, 25.
Mangum, Robinson, and Rivas will be scheduled for arraignment in Providence County Superior Court. Jaiman was arraigned Thursday in Providence County Superior Court. A warrant has been issued for the arrest of Sostre.
The indictments resulted from a multi-agency investigation that included the Providence police, the federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives; and the attorney general s office, officials said.
