Prosecutors revealed Friday that a fourth person, 18-year-old Zamair McRae, died weeks after the blaze.
The fire also claimed the lives of Sanders' own 9-month-old daughter, Malani Sanders, and her grandparents - Tiffany Abrams-Jones and Prince Jones
NJ.com reports that officials identified McRae as the son of the grandparents who were also killed. Sanders' attorney has said there's no evidence of him setting the blaze.
