Homicide Charges Filed in Child's Fire Death

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP, abc24.com) - Authorities have charged a Nashville man with criminal murder in the death of a 6-year-old boy who was left alone and died in a fire.

Cortaviz Green was taken to Monroe Carell Jr. Children's Hospital after he was pulled from a burning housing Wednesday morning. He died a short time later from smoke inhalation.

Nashville youth services detectives on Thursday charged 29-year-old Travis Wright with criminal murder for leaving the boy unattended to go to work. Police said it appears the boy was alone for at least 30 minutes.

The boy's mother told police she left her son with Wright so she could go to a store that provides free toys to low-income families.

Investigators believe the fire started in a wall heater next to a sofa.

EVERETT -- Police on Wednesday were canvassing the View Ridge-Madison neighborhood in Everett after a man was found dead there the night before. A neighbor spotted the man on the ground outside a vacant house at 22 Madison St. He called 911 about 6:20 p.m. The man had obvious signs of trauma to his torso, police said. He looked to be in his late 20s or early 30s. The Everett Major Crimes Unit is investigating the death as a homicide, Lt. Robert Goetz said.
