Cicero officials on Saturday identified the person who was killed in an apartment building explosion that displaced 11 families in mid-February.

    Authorities said Anthony Avila-Puebla, 31, caused the explosion that erupted on Feb. 15 in the 2200 block of South Central Avenue. His remains were discovered in the debris.

    Video captured Avila-Puebla parking his vehicle a half a block from the residence, removing a 5-gallon jug and entering the building, according to a town of Cicero spokesperson. He then exited with the jug, which was empty, and returned to his vehicle.

    Avila-Puebla was seen removing multiple jugs from his vehicle on two other occasions and entering the building. An explosion then took place, and Avila-Puebla wasn’t seen exiting the home, officials said.

    An investigation determined the jugs contained a flammable liquid, and Avila-Puebla was responsible. The explosion erupted while a number of the home’s residents attended a wedding.

    A motive remained unclear Saturday night.
