Bail denied man accused in arson death of mother, daughter Follow Us Question of the Day By - Associated Press - Thursday, March 11, 2021 CHICAGO (AP) - A 63-year-old man made his intentions known before burning down a Chicago home and killing a sleeping 10-year-old girl and her mother, Cook County prosecutors said Thursday. Reginald Brown is accused of setting a fire on Feb. 28 because he believed a woman he had been dating stole his wallet. Killed were Ieashia Ford, 34, and her daughter, Porche Stinson Ford. Shortly before the fire, Brown grabbed the woman and argued with her after accusing her of theft, Cook County Assistant State’s Attorney James Murphy told Judge Charles Beach. At least two people overheard the argument and Brown threatening to “burn the house down if his wallet” was not returned.
