On the morning of November 21, 2016, a fire destroyed a rental home on East Columbia Street in Flora, Indiana, killing four young sisters, including nine-year-old Keyara Phillips. Keyana Davis, 11, Kerriele McDonald, 7, and Kionnie Welch, 5, also died; their mother, Gaylin Rose, survived. Investigators determined the blaze was intentionally set and the case was officially ruled an arson, with the Indiana State Police leading the homicide investigation.

No arrests have been announced. A reward of up to $5,000 has been offered for information leading to an arrest and conviction. Separately, Gaylin Rose filed a wrongful death lawsuit against the landlords, alleging the rental lacked functioning smoke detectors.

Anyone with information about the fire or who knew the family is asked to contact investigators.?
