A San Bernardino County man has been federally charged with deliberately setting a fire that destroyed a massive warehouse in Ontario, California, causing an estimated $500 million in damage, federal prosecutors said Friday.

Chamel Abdulkarim, 29, of Highland, is charged in a federal criminal complaint with arson of a building used in interstate and foreign commerce, according to the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Central District of California. The complaint was filed late Thursday.

The early‑morning April 7 fire destroyed a 1.2 million‑square‑foot warehouse leased by Kimberly‑Clark, a major producer of toilet paper, paper towels and baby products. No injuries were reported.

Is this the guy that live-streamed himself lighting the fire?
