Man charged in St. Louis area black church fires
A 35-year-old black St. Louis man, David Lopez Jackson, was charged in St. Louis Circuit Court with two counts of second-degree arson for fires at Ebenezer Lutheran Church and New Life Missionary Baptist Church in the city. Investigators say three other fires in the region are linked to him, while federal authorities found no evidence the fires were hate crimes. The cases occur amid tensions from the Ferguson era and the wider Black Lives Matter context.
