Seven years after a fire that killed three people in a Louisville apartment, the woman who pleaded guilty to setting it is headed to prison for 46 years.
The 2017 fire at a six-unit apartment building on Shanks Lane in southwest Louisville led to the deaths of 41-year-old Archie Riley, 16-year-old Savannah Cooper, and 11-year-old Kameron Harris. At Thursday’s sentencing hearing, family members of the woman and two children who were killed recounted all the pain and hurt they have experienced.
Danesha Peden pleaded guilty to 19 criminal charges, including three counts of murder, one count of arson and 15 counts of wanton endangerment. Louisville Metro Police investigators said she started the fire over a domestic dispute with someone else.
A pending civil case against Peden and the apartment complex remains active. She is not eligible for parole.
