UNION CITY, N.J. (AP) -- A fifth child has died following a New Jersey house fire that earlier claimed the lives of four other youngsters and injured several other occupants and firefighters.
The Hudson County prosecutor's office announced Tuesday that 4-year-old Shamira Lopez has died.
Officials have previously said that Friday morning's fire at a three-story home in Union City also killed three boys -- 2-year-old Jason Gonzalez, 7-year-old Christian Josue Mendez and 13-year-old Jose Felipe Tejada -- and a 5-year-old girl, Mayli Wood.
A 4-year-old girl remains in critical condition at Children's Hospital of Philadelphia. A woman and a man are in stable condition.
Eight firefighters were treated, mostly for smoke inhalation or heat-related issues.
The Red Cross has reported helping 30 people from eight families. The cause of the fire remains under investigation
