A man has been charged with arson in connection to a house fire last September which left a family dog dead.

First-degree arson charges were filed in Hennepin County against Eric Lamar Walker on Friday.

According to the complaint, Minneapolis police arrived at the 3900 block of Dupont Avenue North on Sept. 26. A single-family home was in flames and two adults and two children had evacuated the home without injury. The family dog, however, died due to smoke inhalation.
