Dallas strip club fire that left 1 dead and 2 jailed is part of larger statewide arson probe
The fire is linked to a rash of strip club fires in Houston that were ordered by a nightclub mogul in that city who was intent on eliminating his competition in the industry, according to court testimony and documents.
Dallas Fire-Rescue responded to the Black Diamonds nightclub in March 2016 and later turned its investigation over to the Justice Department after it was determined that the arson attempt was related to a larger criminal conspiracy based in Houston, according to officials.(Nathan Hunsinger / Staff Photographer)
