ORIGINAL STORY

Authorities say a Lacy Lakeview woman is wanted in connection with a deadly apartment fire that claimed the lives of three people late Sunday.

Acacia Deshanae Adams is a suspect in the Northgate apartment fire for "recklessly causing the deaths of three tenants", according to the Lacy Lakeview police department.

Adams is about 5'8 and weighs 125 pounds, with black hair and brown eyes.

She's being charged with three counts of manslaughter, and police believe she fled with her "significant other".

Witnesses or persons with information are advised to contact Detective Ziegler with the Lacy Lakeview Police Department.

Earlier this week, 25 News reported on the blaze, which also left dozens homeless.

Neighbors rushed to help when the flames erupted late Sunday and likely saved many more lives with their quick thinking.
