A manhunt is underway in Orange County for a man wanted in connection to a fatal house fire last night.

Thomas David Ryan is believed to be armed and dangerous. Police say the 32-year-old is six-foot-two and roughly 200 pounds.

He was last seen in the area of the Greenville Turnpike wearing black sweatpants and a black T-shirt. He is believed to be driving a gray Toyota Prius with New York plates, HNH-7671.

New York State Police said the fire at a house near the turnpike was deliberately set. One person was found dead inside the home. The death is being investigated as a homicide.

Anyone who comes into contact with Ryan is asked to dial 911 immediately.
