Three families whose children were killed or severely injured in a catastrophic fire that was deliberately set at a San Marcos apartment complex have reached a settlement with the owners and managers of the property.
The families of Zachary Sutterfield, Haley Frizzell and David Ortiz sued the owners and managers of Iconic Village Apartments weeks after the July 20, 2018, blaze. They accused the defendants of negligence by failing to provide a fire sprinkler system and failing to inspect and test fire alarm systems, in addition to other safety lapses.
Dallas attorney Bruce Steckler, who represents the three families, said their claims against the apartment owners and managers were settled Nov. 25.
