2 Midtown Sacramento Victorian homes damaged in fire
Firefighters swarmed a Midtown Sacramento street to stop a fire from spreading to more homes Monday morning. Sacramento Fire crews were dispatched to the scene near 18th and N streets a little after 9 a.m. Crews found that the fire that had apparently started between two converted Victorian homes had spread into the attics of the buildings. The fire prompted a three-alarm response to be called to the scene. One person was injured when they broke the window out of one home to get their brother out, Sacramento Fire says. No other injuries were reported. Firefighters were able to stop the flames from spreading to any other buildings. The extent of the damage to the two homes is unclear at this point, however. Due to the fire response, N Street is closed between 18th and 20th streets.

The Cleburne County Sheriff's Office previously announced that officials responded to a report of possible human remains in a wooded area off Interstate 20 near the 194-mile marker on June 22. Deputies arrived at the scene and confirmed the discovery. At the time, the sheriff's office said that no foul play was suspected.

They learned that Robinson was listed as missing around December 2022, and the vehicle he was traveling in was towed from the same area on Interstate 20 in January 2023. The remains were sent to the Alabama Department of Forensic Science for examination. The department later contacted investigators and obtained Robinson's dental records, the sheriff's office said. 'After conducting a thorough forensic analysis (including both dental and DNA comparisons) the Medical Examiner officially confirmed the human remains located at the scene belonged to Peter Alexander Robinson,' authorities said. Robinson's family was later contacted about the identification. The sheriff's office noted that Robinson may have been experiencing a mental health crisis when he vanished. Robinson's cause of death was not immediately made clear. 'We want to take this moment to remind everyone that mental health struggles are real and can affect anyone,' Cleburne County Sheriff Jon Daniel said. 'If you or someone you know is struggling, please reach out. Help is available.'
