An Eagle Rock man has been charged with setting fire to a homeless encampment in 2019, a blaze that eventually grew into a brush fire that left three people injured and threatened homes in Los Angeles and Glendale, prosecutors said.

Daniel Nogueira, 27, was charged with arson, two counts of assault with a deadly weapon and using an explosive device on March 25, more than 18 months after the fire erupted near the 2 Freeway along the Glendale-Eagle Rock border, prosecutors said.

Police arrested Nogueira and Brian Antonio Araujo-Cabrera on suspicion of attempted murder in 2019, accusing the men of throwing a “firework” at the encampment.

The device was described as a “mortar” in a criminal complaint made public this week. latimes.com/california/sto…
On Tuesday, a law enforcement official told The Times that Nogueira carried out the attack because he “did not like the homeless encampments.” The official spoke on the condition of anonymity in order to discuss the case candidly. latimes.com/california/sto…
The fire was the first in a series of arson attacks against, and within, L.A. County’s sprawling homeless community in 2019.
