In 2010, he was sued by a female employee who claimed discrimination. He was ordered to pay her more than $15,000. In 2012, the Attorney General indicted him on a kickback scheme involving Medicaid; the charges were later dropped after a judge found the evidence was obtained illegally. In 2014, Charlie Baker's campaign returned donations from Etzkorn. And in 2017, he faced criminal charges in connection with sanitary cold violations in connection with another property in Fall River. Those charges were later dismissed. In a statement to the Boston Globe, Etzkorn said, "I, along with my entire family, am devastated by the tragedy at Gabriel House. Our thoughts are with every one of our residents, their families, our staff, and the brave first responders.

Lanzikos says the state has an obligation to inspect the properties, telling the I-Team, "nine people died and 30 people are in the hospital in this day and age, that is not acceptable. We are in Massachusetts can and must do better. This just indicates the need for enhanced transparency –these people who own these homes need to be held accountable."

Police continue searching for leads after boy's body found in Panorama City parking lot
Investigators are still searching for information that will help them identify the person who left a boy's body in a Panorama City parking lot over the weekend. The discovery was made at around 7 a.m. on Saturday outside of a medical office building in the 8200 block of Van Nuys Boulevard, according to Los Angeles police. Initially, detectives estimated that the boy was between 3-years and 4-years-old, but now the Los Angeles Department of Medical Examiner suspects that he was actually 5 or 6 and is believed to be African American. They're still unsure if the boy is from the Los Angeles area and say that a sketch will be released to the public once the autopsy is completed. There are no concrete leads yet, such as a suspect identity or vehicle involved in the incident, according to LAPD. But they say that they've viewed some security camera footage from the area that captured video of interest. In the days since, a large memorial has continued to grow near the spot where the boy was found, with many community members stopping to pay their respects. Marta Madrigal is one of many who took time outside of the memorial on Monday, even though she didn't know the victim. "Not know who did it and why, why they did it," she said. "I'd like to know. ... Definitely have to turn in theirselves." Some other local children have also stopped by, leaving their own toys to pay respects. "We're giving their favorite stuffed animals to a child they don't even know because we want to show our love to him," said Camila Chavez, who was at the memorial with her two younger siblings. Susana Solis, another community member who has been stopping to tend to the flowers and tokens of sympathy, shared the same sentiment. "Everybody loves children, and if something happened to any child, no matter what race, what religion, whatever, we are concerned," she said. "The parents that's out there, they should come forward, or whoever did this, come forward."
