A 15-year-old girl was charged with murder after setting a fire that killed a man in the Bronx, cops said Sunday. 

The teen, whose name was withheld because she’s a juvenile, was charged a week after the fatal fire broke out at 1211 Evergreen Avenue in Soundview around 2 p.m. on Jan. 29, police said.

The FDNY responded to the blaze and found Abdoukarim Sakolly dead inside the home, police said.

The girl is “known to frequent the area” and had a dispute with someone in the building but not the victim, a police spokesman said. She was arrested in Midtown.

Police released photos and videos of the teenager.

She was charged with murder, assault, arson, reckless endangerment and criminal mischief, according to cops.
