Cordale Nichols, a 37-year-old man from Chicago, has been charged with murder, attempted murder, and arson after allegedly throwing an incendiary device into a Bridgeport home, resulting in the death of 54-year-old Charnette Walker and injuring a 12-year-old girl. The incident stemmed from an argument over a motel bill between Nichols and Walker's daughter, whom he was dating. Nichols was swiftly arrested about 45 minutes after the fire, found near the scene smelling of gasoline. The tragic event led to murder charges and a detention hearing for Nichols, with investigations ongoing to unravel the full circumstances surrounding the crime.
