FILE - In this frame grab taken from video provided by WXYZ, firefighters battle an industrial fire in the Detroit suburb of Clinton Township, March 4, 2024. Noor Noel Kestou, a suburban Detroit businessman, was charged with involuntary manslaughter Thursday, April 25, in connection with an explosion at the building he owned in which a nitrous oxide cannister propelled through the air, striking and killing another man. This photo provided by Macomb County Jail shows Noor Kestou.
The March 4 fire and explosion occurred in a Clinton Township building that housed a distributor for the vaping industry called Goo. More than 100,000 vape pens were stored on-site. Authorities have said a truckload of butane canisters had arrived at the building within a week of the explosion that sent cannisters soaring up to 2 miles , and more than half of that stock was still there when the fire began.
“He was a suspect from the beginning, being the owner of this business,” Lucido added. “Anyone that owns a business and something like this happens has to be considered a suspect.”
