佛罗里达人因涉嫌引发洛杉矶致命帕利塞德火灾被捕
摘要
29岁的乔纳森·林德克内希特因涉嫌故意引发洛杉矶帕利塞德火灾被捕并被起诉，该火灾造成12人死亡，超过6800座建筑被毁。
联邦当局逮捕了29岁的乔纳森·林德克内希特，他是洛杉矶的前居民，目前居住在佛罗里达，因涉嫌故意引发洛杉矶历史上最具破坏性的野火之一——帕利塞德火灾。该火灾于1月爆发，造成12人死亡，摧毁了超过6800座建筑。
根据刑事起诉书，林德克内希特涉嫌于2025年1月1日午夜过后不久，在太平洋帕利塞德的一条徒步小径附近点燃了最初的火源，即拉克曼火灾。该火灾在地下悶烧，直到1月7日被强风助燃后重新冒出，迅速蔓延成灾难性的帕利塞德火灾。
调查人员发现了显示预谋的数字证据。据称，林德克内希特在火灾发生前几天使用ChatGPT制作了一幅描绘燃烧森林和逃离人群的图像，并反复听一首包含纵火场景的法语说唱歌曲。此外，他还涉嫌返回现场观察并录制消防行动。
代理美国检察官比尔·埃塞利表示：“起诉书指控一名个人的鲁莽行为导致了洛杉矶有史以来最严重的火灾之一，造成太平洋帕利塞德地区的死亡和广泛破坏。”
林德克内希特在佛罗里达墨尔本家附近被捕，并在奥兰多首次出庭。如果被定罪，他将面临联邦监禁最低五年，最高可达二十年的刑期。
帕利塞德火灾受气候条件加剧，烧毁了超过23000英亩土地，造成约1500亿美元的损失，成为该市历史上破坏最严重的火灾。
