SAN JOSE — Investigators probing a now-infamous inferno that destroyed a Home Depot in South San Jose earlier this month are seeking additional witnesses who can confirm that a man nowcharged with arsonwas on the property before, during and afterthe five-alarm blaze。
Thursday, San Jose police released a security image of a man they have identified as 27-year-old Dyllin Jaycruz Gogue, captured at a Bass Pro Shops a mile north of the Home Depot about an hour before the April 9 fire.
Man Charged with Setting Fire at CA Home Depot
图像发行的目的是为Gogue当天穿的衣服提供参考框架，希望收集更多目击者，以了解他在Blossom Hill路920号的家得宝。当局指责Gogue在用充满偷来的工具的购物车送出时，有意地开始大火。
至少，至少在公开场合，是否有任何商店监视镜头捕获商店里的动作，在大火中幸存下来，这场大火笼罩着周围的地区，几天里用有害的烟雾笼罩着周围的地区，并被烧毁了如此热，以至于被轨道的天气卫星发现。
在纵火罪指控的警察声明中，只有一名证人被引用为Gogue离开了当时吸烟的家得宝。根据先前关于火灾的正式陈述，该人似乎是一名商店雇员，阻止了盗窃。该文件还声称，Gogue“就开火发表了陈述”，但据报道他向谁作出了陈述。
Thursday’s call-out for more witnesses who saw Gogue at the Home Depot suggest that security video and images of him in the store were either compromised or lost in the fire. At a Tuesday news conference, Santa Clara County District Attorney Jeff Rosen declined to give specific answers about whether security footage was recovered, citing a concern that such a disclosure at this stage could “taint the investigation.”
Gogue has been charged with three counts of arson, involving the blaze at the Home Depot as well as fire damage to two adjacent homes. He was also charged with 10 counts of grand theft and petty theft on allegations he stole $17,000 worth of items from six San Jose retailers going back to October.
戈格被捕4月15日在圣何塞（San Jose），将在Elmwood男子监狱中被保释。他周二被提审，计划于6月1日返回法院。
罗森周二表示，调查人员认为，戈格对火灾“负责”，尽管据报道他逃离了另一个人驾驶的等待汽车。尚未披露该人是否正在调查中；罗森（Rosen）周二特别避免将该人称为同谋，但说：“随着案件的进行，有关其他人可能会变得更加相关的更多信息。”
当局还声称，高盖在大火前不久从Bass Pro Shops商店偷走了物品，但这些物品并未反映在新的盗窃罪中。这些盗窃的时间表与Gogue的三起主动轻罪起诉重叠：2021年3月的电池电量是坎贝尔的。1月21日，桑尼维尔（Sunnyvale）的小盗窃罪；以及4月1日从圣何塞（San Jose）出发的小盗窃罪。
Between those charges, court records show that on March 9, Gogue pleaded no contest to misdemeanor counts of petty theft and being under the influence of a controlled substance after an arrest at a Sunnyvale REI store. For that conviction, he was sentenced to a year of probation and was ordered to stay away from the store.

For the three active theft prosecutions prior to the Home Depot fire, Gogue was free on zero-dollar bail. In the most recent case, he was ordered to stay away from the Westfield Valley Fair shopping mall in San Jose.
The fire was首先向家得宝员工和顾客报告给调度员下午5:30左右这家商店在几分钟之内起火，派遣客户和员工逃离生命，并迫使附近居民撤离。消防员花了六个小时才能控制大火。
Investigators believe the fire started in the商店的木材部分and have estimated the fire caused $17 million in inventory loss for Home Depot, in addition to tens of millions in structural damage to the building. Still, questions about how the flames were able to level the massive store so quickly and whether fire code violations at the building played a role remain unanswered.
