SOUTHWEST MIAMI-DADE, FLA. (WSVN) - A 37-year-old man was arrested and charged with second-degree arson after multiple fires at a Miami property, according to an arrest report.
Adrian Herrera-Sanchez was taken into custody Monday, April 20, 2026. Authorities said the charges stem from an April 16 fire involving vehicles at a property on Southwest 202nd Avenue and a subsequent fire reported April 20.
According to the report, Miami-Dade Sheriff’s Office deputies and Miami-Dade Fire Rescue responded to the 15200 block of SW 202nd Ave. on April 16, where a towable cargo trailer and a 2006 Toyota truck belonging to victims Luis Gonzalez-Padron and Tatiana Maya were on fire. A fire investigator determined the blaze was incendiary.
Investigators said Maya reported seeing Herrera-Sanchez standing near the trailer moments before an explosion and then running from the area.
Authorities said witnesses in the area later described a man matching Herrera-Sanchez’s appearance who claimed to have set a trailer on fire and said he smelled like gasoline.
The report states Herrera-Sanchez had previously threatened to burn the property following a breakup with Maya, and both victims told investigators he had made similar threats during past disputes.
Officials said Herrera-Sanchez was apprehended April 20 in connection with a separate incident in which he allegedly broke into another property and set belongings on fire.
Herrera-Sanchez is being held on $80,000 bond.
