Shaw Kidder, 65, pleaded guilty to two counts of aggravated arson for intentionally causing a gas explosion that destroyed a four-family apartment building on Elberon Avenue in East Price Hill last year. The explosion, which occurred on March 10, 2025, left four people hospitalized and caused such extensive damage that the building had to be demolished. Firefighters arrived to find a massive fire, a victim in the front yard and the partially collapsed structure.
