Kimbrady Carriker, also known as Grady Carriker, is charged with attempted murder, aggravated assault, arson, and related counts, police said. 6abc reports he is the father of the Kimbrady Carriker accused of killing five people in Kingsessing last July.
Police were called to a home on the 2500 block of South 17th STreet late on April 26, the department said. They arrived at a burning home and entered to find two people with burns to their legs and feet, authorities said.
