Efrem Zimbalist Demery Jr., 28, was arrested on suspicion of murder about 12 hours after firefighters responded to the fire at Top Notch Recordings around 7 a.m. Saturday, April 14, police said.
Firefighters found four people down in the flames at the studio in the 3700 block of Cahuenga Boulevard. Two people remain hospitalized in critical condition with serious burns: a man in his 20s, and a 15-year-old girl.
The victims who remain hospitalized were not associated with the suspect or the men killed, police said.

The accelerant was poured in a hallway near where the targeted victims were; the two survivors were in a different room, according to the captain.
“The direct nature of going after these individuals is obviously very heinous,” the captain said. “Arson is a brutal crime and a terrible way to die.”

Surveillance video and forensic evidence led police and Los Angeles Fire Department arson investigators to Demery, who was arrested in Willowbrook by a California Highway Patrol officer who spotted him allegedly committing a traffic violation.
Demery has prior arrests for burglary and selling counterfeit goods, police said. It’s not clear if he has convictions related to those arrests.

They need to outlaw gasoline.
Or at least only sell it by the cup. No one needs that much firepower.

“They need to outlaw gasoline.”
Or at least raise the age to 21 to buy it.
Is there ANY chance that this is Stephanie’s kid? Nah...she’s pretty long in the tooth now, too!
Used to work up (or down) the street @ 3459 Cahuenga.
She was one of my TV crushes back in those days, lol.
I’m thinking this might have been an aspiring rap singer.
Stephanie will always be Laura Holt to me.
“Efrem Zimbalist Jr. !!!” is one of my substitute-cussing phrases when angry!
I have an autographed copy of the Remington Steele book.
Stephanie threw in some autographed theater stuff.
She always struck me as a class act.
Oh, easily! She was a cutie. :)
