SILVER SPRING, Md. (AP) — Authorities have identified a sixth person killed in an explosion and fire at a Maryland apartment complex.
The man was identified as 34-year-old Aseged Mekonen, Montgomery County police said Thursday.
Seven people were killed in the Aug. 10 explosion at the Flower Branch apartments in Silver Spring. Investigators are still trying to identify the seventh victim, police said.
Investigators with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives said last week that a buildup of natural gas caused the explosion.
