Overview
- Kenneth Chee, arrested Thursday inside Disney’s Hollywood Studios at 351 Studio Drive, is being held at Orange County Jail on a fugitive warrant.
- Authorities link Chee to a July 2025 warehouse explosion in Yolo County, California, that killed seven people and have charged him with murder, conspiracy, and illegal possession of explosives.
- Investigators say the warehouse lacked required permits to store fireworks, a failure that raises the risk of a mass blast when large quantities ignite.
- Six others are in custody in the same case: Samuel Machado, Tammy Machado, Jack Y. Lee, Gary Young Chan Jr., Craig Cutright, and Ronald Botelho II.
- Deputies reported no link to Disney, and park operations continued as the cross-state investigation into the explosion remains active.
