A fire on May 7 destroyed the home where Rhonda Spencer and her husband Tim Fordham lived and died in Miami Gardens, according to police.
Sepencer’s nephew Tamonjamin Williams said an explosion woke him up shortly before 3:30 a.m., on May 7 at the home along Northwest 185 Terrace.
“The ceiling inside the bedroom was on top of me. I started calling for them ... I couldn’t get out the door ... God pulled the door open and then I went out,” Williams said after the fire.
When their loved ones met for a vigil on Wednesday, Spencer’s sister, Jamie Spenser, described their deaths as an unexpected and horrible “senseless murder” and said she was glad Williams survived.
Detectives asked anyone with information about this or other cases to call Miami-Dade County Crime Stoppers at 305-471-8477 to remain anonymous.
