A gas explosion tore through a Bronx high-rise at 12:19 a.m. on January 24, 2026. Resident Ronald McCallister, 60, was killed and 15 others injured, including firefighters caught in the blast as they arrived to investigate a gas odor. Prosecutors say Samuel Calderon, 55, who did not live in the building, broke into an apartment and disconnected a stove to steal and sell it.
