Warrant: Police were already watching arson suspect before synagogue, church fires in Connecticut

HARTFORD, Conn. — Even before March 11 fires at a New Britain synagogue and church led to her arrest on arson charges, Kimorah Parker was on the radar of police, according to a warrant for her arrest.

Parker, 30, of New Britain was a person of interest in vandalism at a Greek Orthodox church, a small fire at a church on Curtis Street and a fire in a Grove Hill house, the warrant says. The three incidents happened in the days before the Friday night synagogue and church fires.

Parker, who police say also is known as Akeem McDavid, was seen walking near the Greek Orthodox Church immediately after someone threw a rock through its window, and she posted a comment on Facebook about the fire at the vacant home within hours of the blaze, the warrant says.
