Fatal Oildale mobile home park fire death of Linda Kelly, known as Roxy

Investigators are examining a blaze at the Superior Mobile Home Park on State Road following the discovery of a woman’s body inside a recreational vehicle early Friday morning. This incident represents the third fire at the same park within the last four months, prompting significant worry among residents and family members of the deceased.

The Kern County Sheriff’s Office and Fire Department answered the emergency call shortly after 2 a.m. related to the fire.

This event follows two prior incidents at the park: one on May 31 that claimed the life of a 52-year-old woman and two dogs, and another on June 19 with no reported injuries.

A man whose trailer was destroyed earlier this year conveyed his discomfort, stating, “I definitely don’t feel secure here. We haven’t felt safe even before the fire started; it was merely a gut instinct, it’s not safe here.”

Further information: A court document indicates a woman admitted to deliberately starting the deadly Oildale mobile home fire.

The deceased, recognized by relatives as Linda Kelly, known as “Roxy,” was reportedly observed by neighbors arriving at her trailer in a gray sedan with a man and a woman.

The couple departed in the vehicle shortly afterward, and the automobile was later located down the street, according to Kelly’s sister, Sharron.

“My sister, the neighbors said, never permitted anyone to drive her car, never allowed strangers into her house like that. So she would have known him or would have asked permission for something. It was very strange,” Sharron expressed.

Neighbors and relatives characterized Kelly as a caring individual.

“A lot of people aren’t nice like that, you know,” one man mentioned.

“She was always great, would feed me whenever I was hungry. I would consider her almost like a mother to me.”

Olivia McGowan, Roxy’s niece, promised to pursue justice for Kelly.

“She’s not going to be just like all the other people who pass away and nobody cares. We’re going to fight for justice,” McGowan declared.

The Kern County Sheriff’s Office is continuing its investigation into the fire but has not released further details.
