Although they have their suspect, the NWPD Major Crime Unit is still investigating to gather evidence that would be used to prosecute the suspect and they're still looking for input from the public if they saw or know anything.

The old pier erupted into flames and smoke on Sunday night, September 13 and continued to burn for days after.

NWPD's suspect has been released upon various conditions, but the pier is completely blackened, still burning, and won't be the same.
